As the title says, Anyone used or got a budget scope which has turned out to be quite okay?
Thanks

I purchased a Celestron Ultima 80 for $101 usd on Amazon in 2017 that I have been quite happy with. Currently it's $169.

I cuurently moved up to a Regal 100 which costs quite a bit more because of ED glass. Quite frankly the difference in clearness of view is not huge. I think the Ultima is a good value.
I have some YouTube links of Bird vids you might want to view. This is done with a $30 Lightdow action camera attached to the Ultima using digital zoom on camera to lessen vignetting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PjayXsq3PE

Attached also are some pictures from still frames of videos taken this way.
