Celestron IS70

Post by Tachyon »

Not that it's of any use in astronomy, but I think the design looks nice! Waiting for an astro version!

Hi,
I was "playing" it for a while yesterday... should be quite nice for birding. A cheaper version of the kowa Telephoto Spotting Scope / Digital Camera ( http://www.kowascope.com/frontend/prodd ... o=10000331 ) which Astro Scientific also sell.

Have a nice day.
