Review: Best Scope Out There For the Price! - Since I'm reading several reviews for this product from unrealistic people who seem to expect $2500 performance from a sub $200 scope, please keep in mind I am reviewing a $160 scope, and not a $2500 dollar scope, and FOR THE MONEY (and over YEARS of use) I've found this to be an awesome little scope. As a tour guide, I don't want to spend a huge amount on a spotting scope to use on tours that is going to get kicked, knocked over, thrown on a dusty van floor and generally abused in situations involving crowds of people. My first Celestron scope was irreparably damaged by an unfortunate incident where it got knocked over and struck a boulder in Yellowstone and lost its focus, but by that time I'd had years of good service out of it, so for the price of a new one, I wasn't upset over replacing it. This scope does the trick for wildlife viewing and birdwatching with very good resolution and durability. People are always impressed by the wonders of high magnification even when comparing an inexpensive scope with an expensive pair of binoculars. This scope certainly is subject to some chromatic fringing towards the edges (mostly noticeable in snowy terrain) but it doesn't detract too much and is still an excellent view, quite sharp and overall very nice. People are totally wowed the first time they see that moving dot in a meadow over a half mile away suddenly transformed into a bear! My only criticism would be that the zoom function is frankly rather worthless, especially at the higher end and I seldom use it. I also have had clients unscrew the eyepiece inadvertently while trying to focus, even though I demonstrate where the actual focus is, so I make sure I check that the eyepiece is on tight. You can bet that when my current scope has another accident, I'll be replacing it with this scope once again.
Review: Good value entry spotting scope - This is the first spotting scope I have owned and I use it for bird watching. As an entry level spotting scope this is a worthwhile option. Everything works well. The scope is basic, has no adjustable eye relief, the scope can't be rotated once on a tripod, no dual focusing and no sun shade. You do get decent optics and good build quality. I have no problem getting a bright and clear image even on 60 x magnification which is very impressive ( with a stable tripod). You will get blue fringing from about 40 x magnification but at $167 that comes with the territory. This is fantastuc entry level spotting scope that will add greatly to your bird viewing even if it is not perfect.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the Celestron 52252 100 worth the extra money over the Celestron 52250 80?**
A: Lexie,On the positive side, the larger aperture will provide brighter views in dim lighting and at higher magnifications.  In addition, the increase in size will afford an increase in resolution--lens quality being equal.  On the negative side, the 100mm scope is big and heavy which if used for birding can be a real burden.  In addition, the large aperture might have a bit more chromatic aberration (blue fringing) than the 80mm.  This really bothers some people.If your primary use is birding, I might be inclined to stay with the 80mm scope; it is vastly more portable and lessens the demands of the mount.  If it will be used for target shooting where lugging the additional weight around isn't a concern, the 100mm will provide brighter views at extended distances.If money is no object, the Regal 80, which uses low-dispersion glass in the lens, is a great value at the entry price range for HD scopes.  The image will be superior in every respect to the 5225x series scopes.Good luck,Southern birder.

**Q: Which tripod would you recommend for this telescope. We wish to use the scope for viewing wildlife at our lake home**
A: To answer your question better, please think about this. Think about a Celestron 100 MM scope and match that to a Celestron coach's tripod. Goes to a 45 inch. height with V & H adjustment flex rods. The 20 MM increase in light will give you much better viewing. These are quality scopes and you will get years of good service. I have three of these outfits and use them..

**Q: Does Celestron make a hard carrying case for this scope? If yes, what is the model number? Thank you.**
A: Celestron does not make a hard case for the scope.  I bought a Zeikos HC-36.  The scope, with the eyepiece removed, fits perfectly and is well protected.

**Q: How well does it performs with a Canon DSLR? Planning to use it for long distance shot, terrestrial and to the moon.**
A: The images were unsatisfactory (muddy) for my long distance shots taken with a Canon 7D.  The lens has aberrations.  It should be ok for moon shots where sharp focus is not a priority.  This is a cheap spotting scope not a camera lens.  What you see with the naked eye may not be captured on the photo image.  You are much better off using a camera lenses for your long distance photographs.  I use a 200mm Canon lens and shoot on the highest quality setting for a larger image.  This scope is fine for sighting targets at the shooting range or watching ships sail past, but it is not for photography.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great scope cont'd...
*by R***. on March 6, 2012*

Humm, hit the tab key and my review in progress disappeared! The scope has a very nice overall fit and finish with good deep coatings on all visible lens surfaces. The focus knob is silky smooth with no detectable backlash. The eyepiece eye-relief is ample (I don't require glasses when viewing--see below) and the zoom is smooth. An audible sliding sound is heard when zooming, but it isn't objectionable. Speaking of glasses, if your glasses just correct for near or far sightedness, you don't really nead them at the scope; the focus range of the eyepiece will compensate for your correction without glasses. Those with astigmatism problems will need glasses however. Owning a premium 80mm ED telescope, I was able to do a side-by-side test with it and this scope. Overall, the optical performance is impressive. Some chromatic abberation is present at the higher magnifications, but even then, it wasn't objectionable. At 60X the ED scope clearly edged out the 52250, with sharper fine detail and a slightly brighter image. To be fair though, the ED telescope had fewer air-to-glass surfaces and the eyepieces (10mm and 30mm) were fixed focal length so that is to be expected. I'd say the Celestron 52250 gave 95% of the performance of the high-priced ED scope. At 20X I was hard pressed to see a significant difference. At 40-60X the image didn't have the crisp detail of the ED scope, but it was quite usable. Most of my birding is done at lower magnification anyway, so I'm not loosing much. On the moon, I was really impressed at an almost total lack of chromatic abberation! I could not see any "blue haze"--just a thin yellow edge. As a rough estimation of optical quality, I performed what is called a star test. In this test one looks at a star image inside and outside of focus. Frankly, I was very surprised by the test. I saw no optical defects and in fact, the patterns were text book perfect! It is amazing what can be done with computer generated optics these days. This isn't a $1000 scope, but if you want 90% of the performance at a fraction of the money, this scope will work for you. I'd recommend it to a friend. At the %154 price I paid for it, this is a real value!
