Does anyone know about this? It hasn't been mentioned in any of the reviews I have seen.

Wouldn't like to say as Celestron don't even quote the exact glass used on their website. The Regal is clearly the better scope when you compare digiscoped images from both scopes. The Regal has the dual focus that the Ultima doesn't, the supplied zoom eyepiece is very good, plus just being able to choose your own eyepieces from a vast range is worth its weight in gold in my opinion.

Well its the eyepiece thing that concerns me, if what alphan says is correct wouldn't getting a eyepiece downgrade the image quality?

The Celestron Ultima ED is a conventional spotting scope as well, basically the forerunner of the Regal. I think alphan is just saying that the eyepiece supplied with the Regal and the ability to add other eyepieces is the only difference between the Ultima and the Regal. Whether the glass used in the objective lenses and the prism are the same in both scopes is open to speculation.

Did you see my last post on page 1? Not sure why your earlier post has been duplicated above?

Just want to add these two shots, these shots haven't been photoshopped and are test photos I used while trying out a new adapter. These shots come from the Panasonic LS60 a budget camera to say the least
sorry about the size I resized the original files by accident

Either size will give you fantastic pictures. Especially for its price

I think it is really according if you are any good with a DSLR because in the end it is the person behind the camera that will determine the results. Paul Corfield uses a telescope and DSLR combo and if you PM him I'm sure he would be happy to help you with any questions. I have been bugging him for ages about eyepieces and he has been so helpful

Okay i have to take that back as well, I now have no idea what the thread size is for the Regal eyepiece but I do know it is the same size as the ultima ed scopes if anyone knows what it is please let everyone know
Here is another picture. This photo hasn't been photoshopped and only resized. It shows how much detail the Regal can pick up. The original file is alot better and this had to be lowered to a smaller file size but still good quality

Great pictures! Well done! Everyone that has tried digiscoping knows how difficult and frustrating it can be, but you obviously master it
I just ordered the 65mm Regal, look forward to using it!

The detail level and sharpness is just amazing on these pictures! I have seldom seen this good, the scope must really be top notch. Do you use the standard included zoom? And what camera do you use?
