Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Celestron 52234 C65 Mini Mak Zoom Spotting ScopeCustomer Review: Not a bad little device. Summary: 4 Stars
I bought my Celestron C65 in a pawnshop in Gulfport, Mississippi recently and used it a great deal out and about on the beaches. I noticed some horrendous reviews of this spotting 'scope and also noted, with interest, that Celestron made this model with a rubber 'waterproof coating' and also my model, which is shiny black plastic instead. Also, the eyepiece on my 'scope is not removable.
Using the C65 out on the beachfront with a decent Bogen tripod, I obtained excellent, sharp images of the offshore islands, ships and other watercraft, and distant casinos. It should be noted that the weather was bright and extraordinarily clear, which was a huge plus for viewing.
The included tabletop tripod was a nice bonus. I had to use a washer to get the tripod to mount securely to the 'scope, but when it was tightened up, it was great. I especially like the slow-motion controls.
At night, I obtained extremely sharp images of the Moon, Saturn, and Jupiter at the low (30X) setting; I did not attempt using more magnification because I had a very difficult time as it was, with finding the various objects; I will have to fabricate an external targeting device so I can aim this little beast properly...perhaps a small tube attached to the side of the 'scope will suffice?
Some people have reported that focusing was difficult; I had no problems at all when I took my time.
Just my opinions; your mileage may vary <g>. Thanks for reading!
