So far I have been very impressed with this spotting scope. I spent 2 months reading various blogs and going o stores and looking through scopes from a $200 Burris to a $1300 Kowa, and Nikons. In the end I knew it would be worth spending the extra for a real ED optic (using real fluorite glass), but I wanted to keep the price down. This scope is very clear and has an very large objective lens to gather light which aids in seeing detail. They also make the same scope in an 80mm and 65mm for hikers and birders. I bought the 100mm scope for target shooting and wanted every bit of help finding tiny holes on paper, but have not gone to the range yet. I have used it in Yosemite to view the mountain tops and the moon though. I could see birds sitting on trees on top of Yosemite and the moon appears almost 3 dimensional. The moon is so bright through the scope that you almost squint and this is only half full. Most zoom eye pieces are optically good for the first 70% of their range with the top end of the magnification being very dark and a strain to look through. This Celestron IMO, is good for about %85 of it magnification which is very good.Remember that this scope is BIG, because of the 100mm Obj. and comes without a tripod. This is actually a good thing since the cheap OEM tripods would never hold this thing very well. Get a good tripod & head. The supplied case is fitted tightly and can stay on the scope while in use.
