Just purchased, so haven't used a lot, but what I see so far is impressive. Sets up quickly, easy to use, clear images. When purchased, I depended heavily on staff and user reviews, so thanks.

I have tried two set of this spotting scopes. BUT I can not focus them. I am asking for the third one. Do not waste your time and money. Celestron's quality control is worst.

I am an astronomer and purchased this scope as a gift. The 2000mm focal length is huge and makes it easy to get close-up views of the moon and planets, as well as terrestrial objects. Optical quality is good, except for a couple of clear lenses apparently intended to seal the tube. All they do is blur the image and introduce secondary reflections; remove them and you will be very pleased with the results. 5-inch aperture is plenty for the planets and daytime viewing, about as big as a scope can be and still be portable.

For the money, this is a very versatile scope. It is a little large for a spotting scope, and the eyepiece that comes with it gives a 63X magnification, which is also a little high for most terrestrial use. Lunar and planetery views are crisp and sharp, although the focus adjustment is a little coarse. Deep space viewing is marginal, but that is not what this was designed for. If it is to be used mostly as a spotting scope, a lower power eyepiece would be needed. All around a great value at $300.00
