5 out of 5 stars   Don't be a dope. Buy this scope.

Review submitted for Celestron Ultima 80 - Straight Spotting Scope (CT52254)
Pros: Sensitivity Controls, Strong Magnification, Bright Eyepiece
Cons:
Other Comments: This scope is big and as heavy as could be expected for one of this type. We were after as much quality as we could get for our money, and I think that we got it. You could easily spend three times as much for other brands, and I doubt that the quality would be much if any better.

3 out of 5 stars   Hard to find a good cheap spotter.

Review submitted for Celestron Ultima 80 - Straight Spotting Scope (CT52254)
Pros: No fault warranty, Not too bad
Cons: Eye relief
Other Comments: Chose to give it a try based on some positive reviews. It is a decent scope for the bucks involved but rated three stars and returned due to lacking eye relief. Had to contact eye cup to achieve full view and that would cause scope to move on higher settings. Initially liked the view but this was to replace a Bushy 15-45x60 and the detail resolution fell short of the Bushy in full light. Did not try under lower light setting but imagine the 80mm would have been good. Very few spotters offer a Lifetime warranty - albeit replacement type for thirty-five bucks - kudos to Celestron for this.

Review submitted for Celestron Ultima 80 - Straight Spotting Scope (CT52254)
Pros: Bright Eyepiece, Bright image at 20X
Cons: Zoom eyepiece feels loose, Poor eye relief, Poor image at 40X-60X
Other Comments: The brightness and clarity of the image in this scope at 20-30X is pretty incredible for the money spent. The image degrades quickly when zooming above 40X. Eye relief is very poor and takes some getting used to. The scope may be unusable for some with glasses. This is a good buy if you need an inexpensive backup to a better scope or as a "beginners" scope for birding and wildlife watching or as a scope to take into conditions where damage could occur.
