dudleyjohn's Review of Celestron Ultima 80 Spotting Scope
I bought this for my wife so she could look at birds and bunnies. It's good for that. I was very surprised, though, when I decided to take it out at night to look at Jupiter and Saturn. I was able to see the bands on Jupiter easily. I could see the rings (not individually, of course) of Saturn, too. I never expected such clear vision with a spotting scope. I used it at 60x on a parallelogram mount I use with my big binoculars, so it was stable enough after I let it settle down after each move.
Pros:
- nice, clear seeing
Cons:
- the focus knob is a bit awkward, but useable
Best Used for:
- terrestrial or astronomical viewing
Would Recommend:
Yes
