I discovered a new way to look at the sky with this scope - Celestron Ultima 80 Spotting Scope

A recent move has left me without an observatory for my CPC1100 SCT, so I got this scope for bird/animal watching and the occasional peek a the planets. While looking at Saturn, Jupiter and Mars a few weeks ago, I noticed some fuzzy objects in my field of view. It turns out they were globular nebulae. I had never seen any of these before, and was amazed at how many of them I could see. This scope has excellent resolution and enough light-gathering capacity to make these extended objects available to me for the first time. I'm so pleased with it! Now I have begun a new phase in my astronomical hobby.
