Celestron LandScout 12-36x60 Reviews

Not worth the money

More like a toy. Doesn't focus correctly. The more you increase the magnification the worse the focus becomes. Can't recommend this product to anyone.

Unbelievable Value!

For less than the cost of an 'average quality' eyepiece, to get a 60mm spotting scope of this quality with a clear, sharp 12x - 36x zoom, table top tripod and carrying case was the best optics deal I've enjoyed in years.� In side by side comparisons, it outperforms my 70mm Maksutov spotting scope (which weighs twice as much) and it is a close 'second' to my 80mm Maksutov.� I keep it in my car for observing nature (birds) and for 'basic' astronomy when traveling.� Was pleasantly surprised by a detailed view of the Orion Nebula at 36x and the four Galilean moons of Jupiter were 'easy'.� Another thoughtful Celestron design, especially the 360 degree rotating tripod mount ring and the 'recessed objective' that acts as a light and dew shield.� If I had paid twice as much, I would still be more than satisfied with this spotting scope!

If the 60mm objective lens is recessed for shade ...

If the 60mm objective lens is recessed for shade and protection, are there any vignetting issues?
Asked by: Steven
Yes the lens is recessed about 1 inch on the Celestron LandScout 12-36x60 Spotting Scope. It does not vignette the view.

question

is the selestron landscout 12-36 good for space observation?
Asked by: Anonymous
No, this is a spotting scope which is intended for shorter distances like 100-400 ft. You need a telescope.
