Celestron C65 Mini Mak Waterproof Spotting Scope w/Case

I'm a big fan of celestron when it comes to optics but this product is just useless and 60x and 90x. Construction and design is great but I think the lens quality is very low. At 60x and much more at 90x it is just hard to focus and image quality is very poor. but if the object it self is near, say a football field away then all the magnification is good but any further its not. I bought this to observe the moon and at 60x and 90x the resolution (which is everything in optics) is just down right bad. Stayed under my bed for 2 years without use before I sold it.

I read several reviews on the Celestron C65 Mini Mak and most were 5 star reviews with only 2 one star reviews. After receiving my scope I am convinced the 5 star reviews are place by the distributors or manufacturer. This scope truly appears to have plastic optics as one of the 1 star reviewers remarked. I know the mirrors and lenses are glass but the view through the scope is so blurry, it looks like you are looking through the bottom of a bottle. Alignment is fine so it isn't blurry because the scope was dropped. Do not buy this scope, it is not worth the freight charge.

I have no affiliation to anyone just a honest opinion with in hand observation. I just got C65 and just a amazing scope for the money. The other reviews are people that are selling one themselves or don't know how to use it. I can place this in my back yard and look at my target at over 200 yards and see a tiny hole that the bullet made with ease. Looking at the moon is even cooler cans see in depth and the amazing craters very cool. So for the money it does its job a buddy of mine paid over $400 bucks for his and they are equally the same we set them up side by side to test it out. So if you want a scope that just does its job this is a good one for the money for sure..!
