The official Athlon Optics page (SKU 311004, "CRONUS G2 UHD 20-60x86 – 45 DEGREE", single focus wheel) confirmed this is the exact single-focus model — distinct from the separately listed Dual Focus 20-60x86 variant — and its published US price of $1,249.99, along with magnification 20-60x, 111 ft FOV at 1000 yds (20x), 45-degree eyepiece angle, 73.5 oz weight, and 16.2 in length. The AstroTelescopium retailer page corroborates the same SKU 311004 and explicitly separates it from the Dual Focus model (whose 20x FOV is 117 ft vs. this model's 111 ft), verbatim-sourcing the 86 mm objective, 20 mm eye relief at 20x, 26.2 ft close focus, Waterproof rating, and Argon (not nitrogen) purging. glassType is left null because Athlon's "UHD" glass is not one of the methodology's allowed enum values (fluorite/ED/HD/standard).
