Celestron 52306 Regal M2 22-67x100mm ED Angled Zoom Spotting Scope Telescope with Multi-Coated Optics, BaK-4 Prism Glass, Lightweight Magnesium Alloy Body and Padded Carry Case, Green

It's hard to see how you could find a better scope it's super easy to zoom quickly works great at all the magnifications. Birds you cant see with the naked eye come up so well you can see every detail I have yet to test it on the moon and I only had a little go at digiscoping but all seemed well, my only negative would be it cant see things really close like the more expensive scopes but at a third of the price its everything I wanted and more.

A great spotting scope. It can also provide excellent views of the moon. I've used it at x155 magnification and still got a bright image.

Superb scope for spotting

Lovely crisp optics, not too heavy, well packaged.

The Celestron range of scopes are outstanding in both value for money and quality?I'm a bird watcher and spent a lot of my free time sea watching,i've had the Celestron M2 Regal 80ED for just over 3 years,and was very happy with it.I decided to up grade to the 100ED,as I wanted more light/brighter images in poor weather conditions.On the 27th August 2020 I ordered the Celestron Regal M2 100ED scope from Amazon,I was more than happy with the scope.Its a little longer than the 80ED and because of that you get a little more magnificent from the eye piece.Ive used this scope most days when I'm not at work as a Support Worker,and it was not until last week I spotted a area of condensation about the size of a 5p.At first I was not overly worried it cleared very quickly,but 2 days ago its there again.Then today I'm sea watching off Deal seafront,its a lovely day sea is calm with blue sky and the odd cloud.But today the whole lens is covered in condensation,which slowly clears leaving two areas of condensation,on the front lenses its meant to be nitrogen purged to stop this,I never had this problem with my 80ED.So on returning home I went onto Amazon,and I can't thank them enough for their quick response.I have a replacement 100ED coming tomorrow,and I'll return the faulty scope on Wednesday after work.So what do I think of the Celestron range,for me the 100ED is a lovely scope,out shines scopes at 3 times the price.Don't let the odd faulty scope put you off,it didn't me and remember scopes at £3000+ still as its problems.

Expensive to purchase but quality feel.Bought this recently but not had a lot of time to use outdoors.I read in the blurb that you can use a variety of 1.25 inch lenses interchangeably.Sadly I can’t as the lens locking ring does not move either clockwise or anti-clockwise wise out of the box.The other celestron 1.25 lenses I have won’t fit into the screw mount so I’m only able to unscrew and screw back in the original lens. Tends to lose a bit of focus on maximum zoom but that might be purely down to atmospherics.

Excellent scope,really pleased with it so far. Looking forward to using it out to sea and estuary birding.
