- A telescope capable of going way beyond spotting magnifications.Review by DerbyJohnny

I have had a Televue Nagler 3-6mm zoom re-machined to fit this Kowa to how much magnification it can cope with, and find out if it can be used for lunar & planetary astronomical work.Quality Overall
Given the very high quality of the 88mm fluorite objective I felt sure that it could support up to double the normal 60x maximum magnification spotting scopes are designed for.
In the event the scope works beautifully over the full 80 - 160x that the Nagler provides with this objective.!
For much of the time the 'seeing' where I live (Derby UK) doesn't support magnications much more than 150x.
So as it stands this provides very quick and accurate lunar & planetary viewing. When the seeing is good up to the full range of this 'super-Kowa' I then go to the bother of getting a bigger astro scope out! (Posted on 01/10/2016) - One for other manufacturers to matchReview by Norfolk Oldie

An excellent all round 'scope! Build quality is exceptional, and optical performance is second to none. If you want the best 'scope, and money is no object, then buy with complete confidence; you won't be disappointed, but you will ask yourself why you waited so long!!

If you want a clear,bright image, and money ain't a problem, then this is the 'scope to go for!Overall Quality
The build quality is excellent, as you would expect at this price point, and the stay-on case is very good; just don't lose the cover which goes over the focus controls!!
Buy a top quality tripod, and I'm sure you'll be a very happy birdwatcher!! (Posted on 24/08/2015)
