Overall a great scope! Very clear optics. You will need a better tripod as the one that it comes with isn't sturdy enough for higher magnification. Also, the instructions say not to use it in direct sunlight so it will have to be covered with a towel or used inside the carrying case to protect it from the sun...I find this very odd for what is described as a rugged scope, but all the pros outweigh the minor cons.

Magnification is more than most spotting scopes. Controls are too coarse, requiring lots of adjustments to take advantage of the magnification

I reckon this a very good all rounder It's light, easy to carry and set up. But if your going to use it on Max mag, you will need a high quality tripod, as the slightest touch sends it wobbling all over the place, Very very powerful for what it is. Good for Moon watching and even the stars can give very good results!

I've been using this scope for quite a while already, mostly for target shooting and wildlife observation, and I am totally satisfied with this product. Impressive (and real which is also relevant!) magnification and ease of use are unbeatable things in this scope. I have also made wonderful pictures of the Moon using the Yukon scope, the pics are detailed and with fine resolution - you can see every crater on the surface! Highly recommended.

Pros:  Good image, large objective
Cons:  focusing problems when switching objectives
Would recommend:  yes

Pretty good image, optically. Might be good for photography. But the large objective cannot focus close (50ft) so don't expect to be able to use to get brighter image for close targets.

Huge objective lense is extemely bright, has very good edge-to-edge sharpness. I was skeptical at first about the zoom range, but the scope has surpassed my expectation.

little heavy, difficult to target planets, fantastic for general purposes, needs space as terrace and strong tripods. No aberrations in lents
