This scope will for sure add more range to your organic optics. The moon viewed from this is clear and bright. Birds and wildlife can be view clearly upto a 1000 meters. It does get dim at 75x under low light conditions. I find 60 - 65x is a more usable magnification on it. Since the objective lens on this is 70mm, you may choose to upgrade the eye piece and go upto 140x magnification, not sure of the image quality though. It ships with a DSLR mounting attachment.I did not use the stock tripod, instead I got a DVR tripod. Please bear in mind, in high magnification and windy conditions, there will be quite a bit of vibration, so choose tripods that allow for hanging weight for stabilization.The unit shipped to me has some dust specs on the mirror, so far they have not caused any issue. Stock soft case is not adequate for long distance travel, I had to build a custom hard case for this purpose. The scope itself is built sturdy.Overall I'd say this was a good purchase.

Simply dragging delivery duration. At last informed me to cancel the order.
Highly disliked this service. Don't buy it. They waste your time and money as well. No one should buy this
