Meade's Kestrel Series spotting scopes are designed for enthusiastic outdoor adventures, with lightweight polycarbonate housings that are appropriate for daylong hiking excursions. It is a prismatic refractor telescope with an achromatic doublet lens and a triple zoom eyepiece. The Kestrel 15-45x60 is the lighter of the two, with a close focus capacity that's great for target shooters whom need to peruse their targeting results without walking across the range.
