Spotting scope

[prdatr]

I have an Athlon ARES G2 UHD 15-45x65 I bought last year from Doug at CameralandNY. He was running a sale and after reading the reviews it would fit my needs. It was 571.99 I just use it for the range. It is nice and clear and I have three pairs of Swarovski binoculars and one of their scopes on my 7 Mag.

Buy someplace where you can return. Eye relief is critical on a spotting scope. Some are so short you almost dirty the lens because you have to be so close. I have a couple of higher end chinese scopes and their glass has improved, but usually you get what you pay for.

I bought a cheep spotting scope from Amazon and it came with a cell phone holder that clamps to the scope. Takes a little bit of adjusting.
I used an old cell just for the camera feature and it worked pretty good. You can zoom in etc… no eye relief issue. They are available several places, Amazon is just one of them.

I am certain this one isn't an optical work of art suitable for viewing Uranus but its a black Friday deal that might fit your needs

Wouldn't you have to be double jointed to do that?
