Designed to be permanently mounted outdoors and to deliver outstanding performance, the Swarovski Optik 30x95 ST Vista Outdoor Spotting Scope is the ideal addition to your balcony, deck, or scenic overlook.

With a powerful fixed magnification and massive objective, you and your guests will be able to take in awe-inspiring views of mountains, oceans, deserts, or the night sky. To enhance your viewing experience, Swarovski brings a suite of its proprietary lens coatings to bear, including anti-reflection SWAROTOP, protective SWARODUR, and nonstick SWAROCLEAN. The ST Vista is configured with a simple focusing system and a straight-through viewing design that makes finding your subject fast and tracking moving subjects easy.

To withstand the rigors of permanent outdoor mounting, the scope has a broad operating temperature range and the body is filled with nitrogen to resist internal fogging and sealed to an IPX8 waterproof rating. A single-arm fork mount supports the scope and allows you to pan a full 360° horizontally and tilt it forward and back vertically as much as 45° in each direction. The spotting scope comes with a hard aluminum carrying case and mounting hardware.

Q: 1. Does this scope come with a padded case cover?

A: I see multiple answers with varying responses. The real answer is NO, it does not come with a padded case. However, it does come with a nicely appointed case with a heavy material and smooth zipper. The case can be left on the scope and used to as a rain cover or protective cover as it can be opened on both ends. Hope this helps!

Q: 2. working temperatures ?

A: Buy a high quality fixed eyepieces such as the ones referenced above. Stay away from zoom eyepieces (image quality is not as good, in my humble opinion. Spend more money and get several fixed eyepieces--one that will let you get you fairly close and that will provide a wider field of view, and one that will enable you to get much closer and that will give you a much narrower fov. With this scope, you should have no problem using a high power ep to get up close and see great detail. (Also make sure you get and use a very sturdy tripod.)
