Pros
  • Low cost, Decent optics, multiple use, high power views.
Cons
  • heavy
I love this little scope. I have an upper deck that looks out on a somewhat open mountain side about three miles away and I spend many hours scanning for elk and coyotes etc. At 39x or 56 x? I can read street signs several miles away if the viewing conditions are excellent. Of course with this kind of magnification that isn't the usual. Fair to Good is the usual.

The views of the moon can be stunning again with very good viewing conditions. With 90mm this scope has severe limits for astronomy but as a inexpensive spotting scope that can give outstanding views over long distances it's really a lot of bang for the buck.
