What's in the Box
Sky and Earth Spotting Scope, 15-45x eyepiece, case
1 Excellent optics!
If you're looking for a crystal clear image and high magnification without spending a fortune this is your scope. It's very easy to focus and the zoom is great. If you'll be doing much of your viewing from one location and want the most stable view use a tri-pod or even a window mount. It's not too big and has a rubberized coating to protect it. It's a bit difficult to use with out a tri-pod unless you have an ultra-steady hand or can rest it on a stable surface. This IS the lowest price you'll find anywhere on a new one!
