    Question about Nikon Monarch 82ed-a spotting scope

    Never tried it but, is there a big difference between 60 and 75? And also I've heard that the FOV isn't as good either.

    Question about Nikon Monarch 82ed-a spotting scope

    I dont have the wIde 30-60 but for 600$ that seems insanely high.. Is it worth more than the 20-60 in any other way other than FOV?

    T That is great to know, it looks like the only proffesional spotting scope setup willing to let up more than 140x.. 4700$ is a really big investment definitely worth it right?

    Big Brother of my Kowa TSN-99a

    Good to know, FOV is very small as i expected, with both extenders i would assume that the brightness is cut down by a big percentage?

    Big Brother of my Kowa TSN-99a

    Question, past 70x is tsn 99a with the extender still usable in terrestrial viewing? Im thinking about the more magnification for the far future but dont know if it's worth.

    Big Brother of my Kowa TSN-99a

    Oh good to hear, does quality degrade when you stack both kowa extenders? And for the night sky i have no idea how to map anything. Is it possible to see those clusters with only 60x?

    Review of Nikon monarch ED82/Nikon monarch ED82-S

    It was outside of the scope that had fungi, supposedly it was tiny water splashes at first but then those milimiter water droplets on the external lens did turn into fungi.

    Review of Nikon monarch ED82/Nikon monarch ED82-S

    OK sorry for the bother but you being an expert in this i have bad news, my scope is developing tiny spiderweb like fungus in the front of the lens of the monarch what do i do? Will this affect the quality of my lenses? Was thinking about some homemade liquid remedies online but I dont fully...
