Regal 65 ED rocks - 04/09/2013

by Aaron from Michigan

I terms of resolution I cannot imagine getting much better, maybe I am fooling myself. If you have a new ten dollar bill, take it out and find a very good magnifying glass and you might be able to read the words above Hamilton "The United States of America Ten Dollars The United States of America." With the power set at 36 I could read this at about 40 feet. At the minimum focus distance with the power set at 16 I can count the lines that make up the pupil of Hamilton's eye.

Out side I had no difficulty identifying a lesser scaup at what I estimated to be 600 meters. At 120 meters I could see a sand-hill crane's pupil.

Color rendition is great and I have not noticed CA. Bright as can be to about 36 power but then drops off a bit. Resolution is pretty constant across the power and edge to edge resolution is excellent until you get past 30 power. Sweet spot is good all the to 48.

Smooth focus!

If you are like me and cannot dole out the big bucks for the big names optics do not overlook Celestron.

great optics, so-so focuser - 03/27/2013

by Fabio from Switzerland

I haven't compared this scope to any others, but the quality of the image is excellent up to 30 X and still quite good beyond that.
The scope seems to be solidly built--as far as I can see the body is made of metal and not polycarbonate as other inexpensive scopes.
The only negative point is the focuser. This scope has a dual focuser: a coarse (fast) one and a more precise (and slower) one. I like this design, and the precise focuser is very smooth; however, the coarse focuser has some very rough spots, ie spots where it is difficult to turn. I hope it will get smoother with time and use--perhaps older users of this scope can share their experience?

I just picked this scope up after months of research. The image easily stands up to the high end scopes for three to four times the price. Super bright on cloudy days, crisp and great colour...absolutely floored me.
You do get some draw backs with the price. It weighs nearly twice as much a similar high end scope. The main focus nob requires a lot of turning over long distances. That said both the regular and fine focus knobs are very smooth.

Very happy with my purchase!
