The Swarovski telescope is made up of an eyepiece module and an objective module. In addition to this ATX eyepiece module, you will need a separate objective module.
Modularity provides flexibility for the hobby, as the objective module allows the telescope to be easily adapted to the viewing situation.
Compatible modules are:
Swarovski ATX is an angled eyepiece module. An angled eyepiece brings many advantages to viewing, for example when viewing from a tripod, multiple viewers of different heights can view the telescope without having to adjust the tripod legs. The angled design also makes it easier to look up at the sky, and allows for more comfortable viewing from a car window.

The eyepiece is a Swarovski ATX module fixed to the prism base, and the same module also has a approx. 2.5cm wide "pleated" zoom ring. The front Swarovski lens module, which can be purchased separately, has a focus ring. These two modules of the telescope are connected to each other with a camera-like bayonet mount. When together, the zoom ring is located right next to the focus ring, allowing you to zoom in and out easily and quickly, even with one hand. The resistance of the zoom ring is greater than the focus ring, so you know without looking which ring you are turning.
The modular design of Swarovski ATX/STX telescopes offers flexibility and adaptability according to need and situation. A Swarovski telescope is built from a front and a rear part. So all you need to do is purchase one eyepiece module (straight (STX) or angled model (ATX)), to which you can then connect a 65mm, 85mm or 95mm objective module. The parts can be detached from each other, for example during a trip, which saves space.
