Features

Dual Focus System: The Regal M2's dual focusing system includes a coarse and a fine focus knob. You can turn the coarse focus knob until the object is clearly visible, then adjust the fine focus, located in front of the coarse knob, until the image in the eyepiece is clear and sharp.
Optics: The spotting scope is equipped with Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass, usually found on more expensive scopes. Fully multi-coated optics and a BaK-4 prism provide great image detail and brighter images, even in low light.

It has a twist-up eyecup to let you position your eye properly with or without eyeglasses. The scope has a standard 1.25" eyepiece mount, which allows you to swap out the supplied eyepiece for a variety astronomical eyepieces.
