Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Celestron 52275 C130 Maksutov Spotting Scope
Customer Review: Not impressed
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased a Celestron MAK C90, my first ever spotting scope, based on Amazon reviews. I wasn't impressed with the crude set screw adjustments but got it to work okay...but only for a few times before the focus broke. I returned the unit and over three months passed during which I could get no information on progress. Finally, I received a phone call from Celestron saying the C90 is no longer in production and that they will send me a replacement, 11049, a relatively fancy telescope I was told would work fine as a spotting scope. Again, about three weeks passed with no action, so I called and happily got a helpful person on the phone. After hearing my story and checking, he said he had to talk with his supervisor. He returned to say he could not send the 11049 as promised, that the C90 is still in production but back ordered, and that he would send a C130 which he called a "hopped up" C90. By then I was so tired of the situation that I just said, "Fine." The C130 finally did arrive, and proved to be a large, heavy, blown up version of the C90. It has the same crude set screw adjustments for the finder scope, the simple finder scope is hard to use as it pictures everything upside down and backwards, and I cannot center the cross hairs on the target with the little set screws. Neither of my two high quality tripods will adequately support the heavy C130 so I have ordered another. If I can't make this scope useful, I'm not sure I'll contact Celestron again.
