NIPON 26-78x78 Powerful Zoom Compact Telescope/Spotting Scope 2 in 1.
Water/rain Proof, Brand New
Note: This is an upgraded model with a standard 1.25" built in eyepiece adapter, an additional large PL40mm eyepiece and a fine focus adjustment knob.
This listing has a very low starting price without reserve - So, happy bidding and good luck!
This scope is featured with refra-reflect objective lens, which makes the instrument shorter, lighter, non-chromatic aberration and more powerful. It combines spotting scope and telescope two in one. It has a wide magnification range from 26x up to 78x. Its large 78mm objective lens lets in more light, thus providing a brighter and clearer image. This instrument is ideal for nature observation and bird watching, as well as for the observation of the Moon and stars. You get a terrestrially correct upright image.
This
scope has a built in standard 1.25" eyepiece adapter which can be fitted with a digital eyepiece/camera for picture taking
and video recording through the scope (see note below). It can also be fitted with other types of fixed power eyepieces.
In
addition to the main focus system on the scope body, there is a fine
focus adjustment knob connected to the eyepiece adapter.

Recent feedback:
24 Oct.09: Excellent on all aspects.
23 Oct.09: Brilliant just what i wanted worth the money.
For your information - The seller is grateful to an eBay customer (mozart503) who has purchased this scope and shared his own experience in the correspondence of 26/5/07:
“The detail one can resolve on the moon is amazing, and I actually clearly saw the rings of Saturn and now I am truly delighted. Seeing Saturn for myself, having found it, is so much more satisfying that looking at someone elses pictures.”
“Incidentally, it is much better in one respect than you advertise. *It actually will focus down to about 10m! This means you can use it to view garden birds!*”
"A word about the tripod - if you limit the extension of each segment by about 1 inch from maximum it is much firmer, fine for spotting."
A feedback from lucy333springer on 7 Dec. 2007:
"GREAT FUN SCOPE===IN TERMS OF MILES I SEEN MY BROTHERS FACE UP CLOSE 8 MILES AWA"
A feedback from tonybikie on 25 March 2008:
"Counting house bricks at 1km & white of bird's eye at 100m"
Another recent feedback comment received from austincom on 10/2/08:
"Hi, I just wanted to write and say how pleased I am
with this telescope. It's magnification is amazing. I'm looking now to attach a
camera to get some shots of the birds (gold finches, green finches, siskin's
etc), that come to feed in my garden that I can now see in unbelievable detail.
I hadn't even realised that I had siskin's feeding on the thistle seed until I
trained this telescope on it. Fantastic."
