N. Bell –
I bought this as a replacement for an Acuter scope. The Celestron has the advantage of having a dual-speed focuser and the ability to take 1.25inch telescope eyepieces. The scope gives clear, crisp views and is easy to focus, so no complaint on that score. For the price, the optical performance is good.
However, the case is cheap and flimsy. Not only that, but the case must be taken off when using the scope. The case supplied with my scope had a broken zip. Only a small thing, but perhaps it says something about quality control.
However, the case wasn’t the deal breaker. I tried several eyepieces in the scope and couldn’t get any of them to focus properly. I think it may have been something to do with the length of the barrels on the eyepieces but I sent the scope back and didn’t investigate further.
Four stars for the overall quality – minus one for the case.

I like it and this scope will always be with me when I go for bird watching. Identifying birds has become a lot more easier for me since I purchased this scope. Colors and outside lines of the bird remain crisp and clear up to just under 40x. Over 40x the image remains accurate with Colors and forms/lines but the humidity and dust in the air, when you are looking at an objet 1/2 KM away, have an impact on the quality of this image. It works very well with T ring for my Nikon DSLR (D40X and D90)

I bought this scope for birdwatching – shorebirds and waterfowl primarily. My buying choice was influenced by the good review that it got in Audubon’s scope reviews, and by my prior experience with Celestron binoculars. I was not disappointed by the scope. I was able to count a group of cormorants in a tree almost 2 km away, and assess the age of a Great Blue Heron at a distance of 750 metres. The view is bright and clear, and the casing appears to be solid and durable. I would definitely buy this scope again.

As advertised.

Been using this for several months now and it’s excellent. Easy to focus, nice bright image. Goes to prove you needn’t spend a fortune to acquire a really good piece of viewing equipment. Recommend highly.

Great. Spotting scope clear wasn’t the cheapest and wasn’t the most expensive. But just what I needed.

This was a gift for my husband ‘s birthday. He has been delighted with the quality and clarity of the lenses.

Always wanted a spotting scope, this one is for Christmas 2016. I was allowed to check it out on arrival, fits on my Feisol carbon tripod perfectly. It is now back in its box until December 25th!!!!
Image quality is very good, bright and sharp, slightly darker at maximum magnification, though this is to be expected.
Well protected body and the focusing is a breeze to use, the fine focus in particular is very good. I really do like the rotating tripod mount, a simple idea that is really handy as you can rotate the scope to allow the viewer to be at 45 degrees (in fact you can rotate the scope to any angle you require), making this really useful for a slightly shorter person, beats shortening the tripod legs (for the wife). Built in lens hood is also very welcome.
Overall very pleased, in my opinion very good value for money, I wished I had purchased one of these sooner.

Excellent lens compared to Bushnell legend. A bit big for hunting but manageable.
Paul Wilson –
Excellent scope but I would recommend a decent tripod for maximum focus.
