    Kowa TSN 883 Impressions

    I've now had my Kowa for about a month and have used it some 5-6 times in the field (birding from hides) and here are my impressions. Overall an excellent scope that often shows sublime images but is not without some issues. This scope seems to work best in medium to low light. I've found that...

    Kowa Warranty

    Just bought a new TSN 883 and there doesn't seem to be any warranty papers with the item. I'm not sure if there should be any. I checked on their European website and it says the item has a 10 year warranty but there doesn't seem to be anywhere to register the product. I do have a receipt for...

    New Kowa 883

    More information

    It seems that not many people post here regularly about what they've seen in the Midlands. Is there any other websites that hold more uptodate information about sightings in the Midland/Warwcikshire areas?

    Kowa TSN 883 - astronomy

    Just bought a Kowa TSN 883 for bird watching but I also have a telescope so would like to use my Kowa for star watching as well. It will be far more portable than my telescope and can be quite easily transported to dark sites. Anyone use their Kowa for astronomy as well? Also, I have a few 1.25"...

    Kowa TSN 883 & iPhone 5S - digiscoping

    Has anyone used the iPhone adapter with a Kowa TSN 883 for digiscoping? I have just bought a new Kowa scope and have a iPhone 5S. Just wondering what kind of results I might expect? It seems to be a very cheap piece of kit.
