Fun, Simplicity, Quality Scope

I rarely review but this scope deserves one. This spotting scope is exactly what I expected - maybe a bit more because it didn't live up to disappointment expectations! It was easy to set up and even easier to read with no instructions (although I did later just to see if I got it right). The two photos I've included were taken within minutes of opening the box - and I've never used a scope before, well, not since I was a kid with a pirate toy or something. And maybe I was looking through a scope many years ago. Yes, these photos could have been better, but the image of the moon was taken in the late afternoon. I know there is a bird's nest on the tree to the right of center and as I watched I could see Mom moving. Again, this was just to prove how quickly I could start having fun.

Pros
  • Rotating tripod mount allows you to change eyepiece orientation to get the best angle of view
Cons
  • Could have gone for a newer model
