NIPON 26-78x78 Powerful Zoom Compact Telescope/Spotting Scope 2 in 1
Water/rain Proof, Brand New
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.

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."

N.B.: This scope is adaptable (with an adapter) to an electronic digital eyepiece/camera which can be directly connected to a desktop/laptop computer via a USB cable. You can see a distant object on the PC screen, adjust the scope’s focus for image clarity as necessary, and take pictures of the object by clicking the ‘take picture’ icon on the screen, and the picture is automatically saved into PC. You can also capture a video of distant scene (can set frame rate and time limit if you wish) and save the video file into the computer.
Here is a picture of the Moon taken by one of our customers using Nipon 26-78x78 scope: http://www.figleafe.co.uk/Main/night-sky.htm
With the same adapter as described above, the scope can also adapt to different types of eyepieces (with standard 1.25” fitting). For example, this scope can be used for archery/target shooting when fitted with a 32mm fixed power eyepiece (with 24x magnification).
Please note that the present listing does not include the digital eyepiece/camera and the adapter as described above. These additional items are available from this shop as optional accessories. Please check item listings at: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Nipon-Scopes-and-Binoculars
