SOLD: Celestron Spotting Scope

[Ben]

I'm selling my Celestron Regal spotting scope.
I upgraded to a Vortex scope, and can't use 2 at once

Features lacking (in comparison with the Vortex):
* Light gathering and clarity - it's not as clear. 40x zoom is about the limit of its usable range.
* Focus knob doesn't wrap around the body, so is harder to turn.


Asking $600.  Sold

I think I saw an episode of the Red Green Show where they made a pair of powerful binoculars with two spotting scopes. I might be wrong, but I think they might have used some duct tape somewhere in the project.

Just saying.

Hmmm. Even if it did work, I don't see much purpose, because even at 10x zoom binoculars can be hard to hold steady. I can't imagine holding a [non-stabilized] 20x pair.

It's an interesting idea, but probably not the most practical.

[Gord]

None of their ideas ever really were. At least not the best ones!
