Orion MicroXplore PC200 Digital Handheld Scope

Works well once you get the hang of it, but it really needs a stand that will permit old guys like me with shaky hands to move it up and down and adjust the focus while still keeping the image in sight.

NCStar Mark III Mil Dot 3-9x42 Tactical Scope

Childrens Toy Shop > Photo > Binoculars- Telescopes and Optics
from: NCStar


I bought this scope to mount on a flat top AR-15 with 20" barrel. It is absolutely perfect. It is very difficult to find a good scope for ARs. Most 3x9 scopes are too long to mount and still maintain a good shooting position with enough eye relief. Without a modified stock, a scope of less than 8" is almost a necessity. Most of the smaller tactical scopes such as the ACOG are very expensive (600$-1200$). This scope gives you comparable performance to an ACOG at 1/10 the price. I am in the army and use the ACOG regularly. The biggest advantage I can see of the ACOG over this scope is durability, (but how many of us honestly need a scope that is waterproof up to 100 meters and can withstand the shock of a two story fall?). This scope ... Read More:

Celestron NexStar 5 SE Telescope

Childrens Toy Shop > Photo > Binoculars- Telescopes and Optics
from: Celestron


This is a very nice telescope. I have been using it the past week and have viewed the Moon, Venus, Jupiter. Overall the optics are excellent. But there are a few issues, which had I known earlier I may not have purchased this scope.

1. Celestron advertises that the scope can be used with 8 AA batteries. This is not completely true. The batteries drain very quickly and will probably not even last one viewing session (say 30 mins).

2. Without power the telescope cannot be moved along the azimuth (left-right direction). So you cannot use it at all.

So essentially if you want to take this telescope out of the city to some dark sky location you have to buy a powertank (or maybe run it off your car). I would have ... Read More:

Alpen Digital Camera Adapter for Spotting Scopes

from: Alpen Outdoor Corp.

This adapter is what it looks like - no surprises. Feels pretty sturdy (and heavy) and universal. There are many degrees of freedom. One of them allows you to pull the camera away in one motion, allowing you to use the scope alone - a useful feature. Some tightening knobs are hard to find (especially the one that holds the vertical slider), so expect some effort at learning all the operating details before becoming frustrated - it can be confusing at first. Read the manual first - it contains some important advices. But be mindful of the screw which holds the pad on which the scope is mounted - it tends to slide off if not tighten properly. I tried this adapter with Meade Redtail 60x77 scope and Canon A510 camera and got some nice pictures, although ... Read More:

The fact that it is a 7 to 15X optical Zoom binocular makes this $40 item a bargain. Bushnell has good optics. This pair is very light weight. It has a small size and small case to go with it. Everybody needs a set for sports or birdwatching or sightseeing on a trip. Buy it.

Celestron Outland LX 8x42 Waterproof Binoculars

Childrens Toy Shop > Photo > Binoculars- Telescopes and Optics
from: Celestron


After visiting two local stores to apply "hands on" to different binoculars, and after returning one pair, I took the better part of a day researching binoculars. My sister gave me the specs for her $300+ pair so I used that as a base. Her binoculars carry another brand name but were made by Celestron. Bottom line, I got them home, took them from the box and could see the birds in my yard with a minimum of adjustment. I have always had great difficulty in using binoculars and have always been frustrated when trying to buy a pair. I am extremely happy with these and the price is wonderful. The specs compare to much higher priced binoculars. I learned that my attempts to buy a light weight pair of binoculars was a mistake. The "42" in the 8 x 42 makes a ... Read More:

We own several pairs of larger binoculars. We are very pleased with these small light weight ones. They are very clear and sharp. Great for bird watching.
