Pros & Cons
Pros
Celestron 52250 80mm 45 degree scope is my first scope and i’m nothing but happy. Minox 50w, celestron hummingbird, roxant - quality of glass is about the same across all four but the magnification with the ultima is obviously better. At minimum magni... Read More
Amazon warehouse great deal. Great bang for the buck. I am military and needed a scope that wasn't going to break my wallet.
The angled lens makes it easy to share viewing with friends when you have it set on the tripod. Be sure to get a quality tripod.
At 20 power a pair of larger binoculars will be brighter and more immersive. Powerful magnification really brings the birds up close. Below are pics of the super moon, blood from eye and blood through scope. Also here is a pic the moon with the scope.... Read More
Cons
The celestron has good image quality only at 20x but at the higher magnifications the image deteriorates dramatically. Significant color fringing (chromatic aberration) * the visual with increased magnification.
Highlights
Quality
The build is nice and sturdy with a metal main tube
It’s lightweight durable great carrying case
The objective lens cap is junk and wont stay on
I used for the first time today and the amount of light and clarity blew me away
Price
The price changes on amazon from 200300 so add it to your list and wait
Given how inexpensive it was couple of years ago it is a great scope
Unless youve got over 800 dollars for a scope id say this is a good one to start with
You can buy a 900 one if you want to avoid that
Packaging/appearance
They boxed it securely and the case is really nice and sturdy
Competitiveness
Its 10x better than the 100 scopes and it has decent image quality
I just got back from a trip where i had this and my brother a much nicer higher end scope from another company
You can buy astronomical eyepieces from celestron or others if you need or want

It is a premium product in its class but if you are just range spotting or rarely use you can shop for a lesser value

I tried a gosky 2060x60 mm scope first and found it too dark and cheaply made plastic barrel

Brighter better made aluminum barrel and had a better astronomical eyepiece
