The Captain Spotting Scope is
a larger version of the Little
Mak.
Its
optical design (with multi coated optics) is Maksutov
Gregorian. This design does not require the use of
additional lenses, mirrors or prisms to give a fully erect image. Thus, this instrument is more
rugged, because there is no erecting system to come out of alignment.
Another
important feature is that this instrument uses a mirror to magnify the image not a lens. A lens
will produce false colors (chromatic aberration) and field curvature. It won't be as
sharp at the edge of the field of view as at the center, but the Captain
does not have
this problem, it is as sharp at the edge as it is in the center. This produces a tack sharp
image.
Ideal for hunters, fisherman, boaters, birders, nature enthusiasts, mountain climbers,
etc.
Finish: black rubber armored.
Case: black nylon.
