I am a complete novice, I have 12x25 binoculars, Bushnell brand anyway and was not satisfied, lack of sharpness, too low magnification. In seeking binoculars I fell on the spotting scope category and for some models I deviated from my first idea. Considering that larger magnifications tripod will be needed to counter the discomfort of tremor, a telescope could become an alternative. We had a compact, portable model, less 1kg, 35cm long, some large diam50 binoculars are not to be much more compact, it's okay. The enlargement from 25 to 75, standard twin is usually stopped at 30. It's more interesting. The overall technical compromise is interesting. The price and less than 90, if either twin or spotting scope for the 25-75x70, I flew a little what exists and comments. It gives a quality / price ratio very good. Note that the eye is at 1.25 astronomical standard, it can be changed at will, it is an important detail, which seems to be a feature of the brand Celestron, the ultima upsells and regal appear to share this characteristic. A tripod is provided, which is not the case for all the glasses of observation, I understood why later. But here reinforces the quality / price ratio. After short test: The bag is convenient, you can use the bezel and install the tripod maintaining the bag in place, can protect the telescope in case of bad weather, easy to carry. The telescope is fully sheathed in rubber and should be resistant to shocks and water spray but is not waterproof. The wheel of development in a long run and allows to make precisely, if we can master the tremor. An adapter is provided, which is screwed to the same location as the protective cover of the zoom eyepiece for standard eyepiece assembly 1.25. The tripod is easy to use, but not rigid enough, there are two mollettes anyway for rotation on 2 axes to reduce tremors and increase accuracy. A 75x is insufficient. The lack of rigidity makes focusing difficult. I understand why the premium eyewear are sold without a tripod, a good tripod requires a separate purchase with a substantial budget. And the quality of the image ... to 25-50x sharpness is just correct, to a 75x sharp focus is not possible. The field is very low at 25x, 75x comfortable. No progress in image quality compared to Bushnell h2O. It is in this case that the adapter would be interesting. Based on comments gleaned, the picture quality seems essentially the result of the eyepiece. This should probably be installed very low end. Anyway many comments the wrong judge. Experiments with eye astronomy show a radical change. It would be interesting to get one of the many copies of 8-24mm zoom TeleVue shared by the brands Vixen, Meade, Orion, seben, celestron, to gain in image quality, some also because the magnification provided seems a 10-30mm. Even a Barlow to enjoy his somewhat hybrid design giving him some skills for astronomy, which contributes to its high QP. One can find the testimony of a correct observation of Saturn to 330x and replacement 7-21générique stamped celestron an ultima 65 by Hyperion zoom baader mark, making it unrecognizable, in a good way :).
In the state I give an average rating, for its tripod and its image quality. Remains at this price, in this range of instrument, which I believe is already very good. It is his potential that makes it excellent, yet to achieve.
