    Celestron Spotting Scope advice please?

    Thanks...I have just bought myself a Baader 8-24mm zoom Mark IV...got it for a nice price from someone who was moving on from their scope. So got it for £160, which I thought was a steal for the Mark IV...looking forward to trying it out next week when it arrives. Thanks for the help (y)

    Celestron Spotting Scope advice please?

    Thanks for that...and can I ask (if you know or have any thoughts) is the Baader 8-24mm significantly better than the SVBONY 8-24mm eyepiece that I have just bought (as a stopgap until I can source a Baader)? Thanks

    Celestron Spotting Scope advice please?

    Thanks...it's actually comforting to know (in a perverse way) that it is not the particular company that is the issue with poor spotting scopes, more the manufacturing/quality control...and that, is really indicative of the world we live in now, unfortunately... I have been offered a used...

    Celestron Spotting Scope advice please?

    Thanks for that...maybe I am relying too much on my Celestron 9.25 telescope experience, and it is skewing my thinking about Celestron for other optics...:unsure: Maybe I should give some other makes a better look...Thanks Kevin

    Celestron Spotting Scope advice please?

    Thanks for the welcome... The main reason I am looking at Celestron is that I would also like to use it for some light astronomy, and my main telescope is a Celestron, so I know they are good at astronomy...and that's also why I am looking at a 100mm, as as much extra light as possible would...
