Can I see the planetswith this telescope Manufacturer Answer

But, yes, you can see planets with this telescope.

by Barska, Manufacturer, April 3, 2023
Will this work as a spotting scope for long range shooting up to 1000 yards? Could I see a the bullet holes in a 12" sq. target at say 700 yards? Expert Answer

While this telescope has enough magnification, the lens quality isn't quite good enough to see bullet holes at that distance. It may work if you are using reactive targets, but on non-reactive targets it would not be clear enough to differentiate the bullet strike.

Helpful Positive Review Barska Telescope by Legacy Reviewer, Verified Owner, August 10, 2010
The unit that I received is actually a 100x and not 88x as it has a 20mm and a 4mm lens. Also it comes with a 3x Barlow lens instead of the advertised 2x one. I'm having a ball with mine as it does everything I expected it to do. Thanks Pros: Ve...

Helpful Positive Review Compact & yet powerful scope by Sebastian, Verified Owner, January 10, 2011
This is a good scope. Compact & portable. Chromatic aberration presence, but minimal. Useful magnification should be around 100X, without significant image darkening. I can see cloud bands of Jupiter, Saturn's ring, Orion nebula & much more with this...
