Provided is an attachment system for coupling a mobile computing device to an optic device. The optic device may be, but is not limited to a scope, binoculars or the like. The attachment system operates with attachment devices and mounting device with apertures that provide a means to couple a mobile computing device to the optic device in such a way that the attachment system provides a line-of-sight between a camera of the mobile computing device with the lens of the optic device. This allows the camera of the mobile computing device to capture images and video using the high power zoom functionality of the optic device and the convenience of the mobile computing device.

The invention relates to a long-range optical device having at least one sight channel and having an image capturing channel, wherein the image capturing channel comprises a camera module for electronically capturing images, and wherein in the sight channel, a first beam path is formed by a first objective, a first focusing lens, an erecting system and a first eyepiece, and wherein in the image capturing channel, a second beam path is formed by a second objective, a second focusing lens and a second eyepiece, and wherein the first focusing lens and the second focusing lens are displaceable together by means of a first focusing unit, and wherein in the first beam path of the sight channel, a reference image plane is determined by a reticle or by an image reproduced by projection optics, and that the first eyepiece of the sight channel is displaceable by means of a second focusing unit for focusing on the reference image plane.
