Celestron – TrailSeeker 100mm Angled Spotting Scope – Fully Multi-Coated XLT Optics – 22-67x Zoom Eyepiece – Waterproof & Fogproof – Rubber Armored

Purchased during Prime sale, so the cost was super low. Would have been satisfied at the normal cost. No frills, easy to use, and the glass is actually pretty clear. It is good enough to spot hits on paper past 500 yards, but haven't tried it out to 1000 yards yet.Super pleased with it!

SUPERB PRODUCT.AMAZING OPTICS far beyond my expactions .THE eyepiece seems to be a 8-24 mm that yields a focal lenth of 384 mmDIVIDING FOCAL LENGTH BY OCULAR DIAMETER GIVES US :aroun 5.9 F number .Those are fantastic numbers ,in reality this scope is even better than expected i got it as a length for my pentax k 50 DSLRi'll coment about it in the future .i had low expectations and was quiet worried about narrow depth of field and too nerow field of viewbut i was wrong about it awsome depth of field and more then acceptable field of view /i'v asked a lot before purchasing it and read a lot .Thanks to this wonderfull comunity for precious advice .great product very haopy with it .Thanks celestron and amazon .

It was supposed to be new, but joints were damaged, practically broke in half at first use when installing it to the tripod, allowing moisture into the lens. Now I am reading the reviews and can see that some guys had the same issue in 2021 and 2002.

This is a great long distance scope. You definitely need to practice sighting things in with it but once you have it’s super great. I like the two levels of zoom on the same knob. It attaches easily to a tripod.

I use this scope at the shooting range and look at the night sky with the kids. For the range, I'm able to see quite clearly out to 200 yards. It may go further but that's the furthest I've tried to track my shots on target. For night use, I think you may need different filters to look at the stars at night. Moon is easy to see but is too bright with the lens it comes with. We were not able to focus on Venus very well. Will need a good tripod to avoid a lot of vibrations. Good scope for modest expectations.

Great general purpose scope for the money. Image is bright and reasonably sharp image with limited fringing. As with most modestly-priced optics, the image quality degrades noticeably as you zoom from 16x to 45x, but even at the top magnification it's decent. Dual focusing knobs are nice to have, and the twist-up eyecup is effective. At this price you're not getting a Swarovski, Zeiss, or Kowa, but it meets or exceeds any reasonable expectation in the price range.

The media could not be loaded. I bought this scope for birding after seeing it on the National Audubon Society website. Honestly, at this price point I was expecting MUCH less from it. The photos and video were taken from my backyard using the Celestron cell phone adapter and my Galaxy Fold 4. The phone does best with about 2.5X zoom on it. The phone zoom generally takes care of the black circle you see around a lot of these type of photos. I'm beyond impressed and can't wait to get out into the field with it. Highly recommend this for a beginning birder like myself.

When there is minimal mirage I can easily see .22 bullet holes at 200 yd. I didn't do any performance testing, but the images seem clear and sharp. The scope looks pretty big, but I think it is only about and inch longer than the 82 mm Kowa. I think most of the difference in length is due to fact that the eyepiece is quite a bit longer than the Kowa's. I'm sure the Kowa is a better scope, but this scope is much less expensive. This scope comes with a soft carrying case which is a $65 accessory with Kowa. This is a great scope for the money.
