    ATX or BTX

    Absolutely, I'm not overly keen on the 115, he's got the BTX and ATX and uses the 85mm so I'll see how it pans out tomorrow. Thanks

    ATX or BTX

    Thanks Mike, I have been happy with the ATX but I feel the BTX was so much nicer on the eyes and allowed better details to be picked up on flying birds, but It would need to work as an all round scope including picking birds up on bushes and scanning bushes as well. I'm meeting a mate who has...

    ATX or BTX

    Hi All, I currently have the ATX 85, and yesterday I looked through a BTX 115 and was really impressed with the eyepiece the relief and ease of use was amazing, putting the 115 objective aside, has anyone gone from the ATX/STX to the BTX but still using the 85mm objective. I currently use my ATX...

    Afternoon All, I've just purchased my new ATX85 and I'm a little unsure on whether to go down the route of the TLS or to just keep my phonskope adapter? Any thoughts greatly welcomed. Thanks

    Tripod and head for ATX85

    Evening all, I've just ordered my swaro ATX85 and of course it doesn't just stop there, I need a good tripod and head. I can get a manfrotto 190 magfibre and 501 or 701 head for just under £250.00 as new. Is there anything around the 300-400 mark that includes both the head and tripod that will...

    Swarovski 85 or 95

    So am I right to think the 95 is less FOV than the 85 but increased light? Does that also mean increased chromatic aberration? My birding won't be dedicated to seawatching nor inland, it will consist of both at equal parts. As said a scopepak will help with weight. Just prefer a crisp bright...
