Spotting scope

 

Seemed to work OK. On high power it seemed to be a little blurred. Other than that it was fine.

This thing is Great...

 

This is a great scope..it has amazing quality, except when you zoom in to the maximum..you can still see..but without a good tripod, its hard to keep it still. For the price...If you are going to look at the moon and stars then I would recommend buying...

Awesome Spotting Scope

 

I purchased this spotting scope to replace one that had only a 60mm objective lens and was a 20x60 zoom magnification.My old spotting scope did not perform well at all at higher magnifications.Images became increasingly difficult to see as you...

Best bang for the buck...PERIOD

 

This is one item that I am super happy with. Every time I am at the range, everyone notices the spotting scope and asks me how many $1000's did I pay for it. I think just about everyone falls over when I tell them I bought it for less than $300! It has...

Great spotting scope

 

This scope is extremely sharp through all ranges of the zoom lens which is 22x through 67x. You need a very sturdy tripod to use it, though, because of it's high magnification. With the PROPER NEUTRAL DENSITY FILTER I watched the transit of Venus on...

Celestron 100mm 52252

 

The optics are very good, with an extremely wide field of view. This is a large scope and has some weight to it - we use it on our deck overlooking our pond. The scope because of it's size and weight requires a "beefy" tripod. The zoom is easy to use,...

Pleased with purchase

 

I was looking for a spotting scope to use for long range target shooting. The Celestron meets my needs. I fabricated a adapter so I could mount a web cam to the scope optics and see the target on my lap top computer. After some adjustments to the...

Great value for money

 

Very happy with this, great value for money . At 22x the image is bright, gorgeous and beautiful but it doesn't really do 66x as advertised. I use it for spotting shipping (and the occasional whale or dolphin) from a veranda overlooking the ocean. I...

Telescope for Birdwatchers.from Amazon

 

Item arrived promptly, in good condition & as advertized. I use this scope primarily for birdwatching but also for star gazing occasionally. We were looking at the moons of Jupiter a few nights ago for instance. I also bought a sturdy tripod at the...

Great scope for the money

 

I just received this scope a couple of days ago and couldn't be happier. My primary use is for birding near the ocean in Maine where our campsite overlooks the mile wide marsh and estuary. The detail on the birds is amazing even at long distances and I...
