Great spy scope - Celestron C130mm Mak Spotting Scope 52275 (C130 mm Maksutov scope) With Free Luxury Case

First let me say I paid $349 with the tripod. If I had bought the scope for the over $419 price most vendors are sell it for, I would be a let down. The scope is awesome for bird watching and as a spy scope but really didn't impress me as a night sky scope. Works ok on the moon and I did pick up Jupiter but it was very small. The big problem for that kind of viewing is the focusing isn't that precise. But the over all package is quite nice and for land viewing is great. If you want to look at the sky I would suggest spending a little more and get a light bucket. Optics Planets was great.
Pros: Great for terrestrial use
Cons: Not good for Celestial
