Even with the easy-to-handle fully rubberized armouring the ATA/STS 80 are by far the lightest of the larger observation telescopes. Thanks to a recalculated optical system they offer a precise observation of detail optimum edge-to-edge images and almost 100 per cent colour fidelity with an extremely wide field of view thereby achieving a revolutionary image quality.
