How to choose between straight and angled eyepiece positionsStart out by thinking about how you are going to use your spotting scope and take hold of any opportunity to compare straight and angled scopes side by side. Though you will get used to handling whatever style you choose consider the advantages of each eyepiece position.

Straight eyepiecesThe straight eyepiece position of the Skyline spotting scope works well when viewing downward from an elevated platform such as a deck or patio. The more natural line of sight of the straight eyepiece is favored by many novice users trying to follow wildlife on the move.

Angled eyepiecesThe angled eyepiece position is a favorite among hunters who spend much of their time scanning higher elevations for wildlife or scoping while lying prone on the ground. In other words the angled eyepiece is ideal for people who often view upward from a lower vantage point. And if you tend to share your scope with others you'll find the angled eyepiece position of the Skyline spotting scope readily accommodates users of many different heights with less adjusting of the tripod.

Accessories for the Skyline 20-60x80 spotting scopeThe Skyline works well for digiscoping and accepts the Radian Large Digital Camera Adapter bracket (sold separately). A view-through case protects the Skyline spotting scope at all times and when you're done viewing add the ocular and objective lens covers and zip up the case. The Skyline also features a tripod mounting collar that lets you rotate the scope body to virtually any angle you prefer on its table-top tripod and is especially useful for viewing with car window mounts.
