Celestron Regal M2 100ED Spotting Scope – ED Glass for Hunting, Birding and Outdoor Actvities – Phase and Dielectric Coated BaK-4 Prism – Fully Multi-Coated Optics – Dual Focus – 22-67x Zoom Eyepiece

Very clear and sharp image … needs a sturdy tripod due to weight of objective … watched lunar eclipse with it with excellent view … and I bought a moon filter before I look at a full moon. (really pulls in the light)

Function, build and value for money. Great product.

I purchased the Celestron Regal m2 100 and found it to be a very well constructed device. The body is made from magnesium. The sunshade deploys very smoothly and protects the objective lenses from glare. The focus mechanism is two pieces, course and fine and operates very smoothly. Picture quality at the lower power settings is excellent. At 60 power the image softens slightly. Because of this, I purchased a Baader Mk 4 eyepiece to go with it. Now the optic quality is outstanding. Even at the highest power. It is large and requires a robust tripod, but it provides a crystal clear view. Very happy with my purchase.

I purchased the Regal M2 100ED as a quick grab scope for astronomy. I have thoroughly evaluated the sharpness of images at 22-67x and have found that the sharpness is exceptionally well. One of the main reasons that I opted for the Regal over the Ultima was the 1.25" eyepiece housing. I have tried a few of my other eyepieces, and have had very good success in their performance. The two of the eyepieces that I used to determine the range of magnification was my Orion Status 5mm (108x) and 3.5mm (154x). My target was a backyard flood light. My findings were at 108x that the image was very sharp. The light covering had a distinctive pattern that was easily visible. At 154x, the light covering was still fairly sharp and the pattern was still visible, but seemed to have lost some of the distinctiveness that was present at 108x. I can not honestly evaluate if it was the clarity of image or the light's luminosity that caused the loss clarity. Overall, I think the Regal is a very well made spotting scope that will perform very well in the night skies.

Excellent optics. Easy to operate! Sturdy.

I saved a bit because the box was damaged. This is a 4 inch telescope. The zoom ring works smoothly. The focus knobs aren’t hard to to turn. This is important because you stay on your object. The image is quite clear. It is very good for a moderately priced spotting scope.You will need a good tripod. I like it overall.

Great scope for the price. I have tested several scopes before and this one fits the bill. This works just as well and with all the features of much higher end scopes. For eg, the dual focusing works great and just as well as one of the >$2000 scopes. Night time use is great and it is bright enough. I like that it is angled and not straight. It would depend if you need the scope to be down low or not. I think Celestron has the best optics for it's price. Having DSLR adapters are great but I hope there would be an iphone adapter soon.The scope also looks very durable with solid materials unlike some of the other scopes. Easy to use. It is definitely worth the price and save you money on the quality of the scope.

Everything looked great when I opened the box. Didn’t look like it was even used. Went to try it out. The glass was scratched so bad and the glass was out of place. Lucky Amazon is great with returns.
