I have the 100mm and I think it’s great. I agree with your points and would just add another pro: you can use other compatible eyepieces with the scope, so that gives you more flexibility.
I have this scope and I agree with everything he says here. It's pretty good for the money even though at magnifications above 40X it is ridiculous. One problem I've had though is this. I bought it for digiscoping and it works really well for this as long as you don't go above 30X. But after a few days of use the threads under the rubber eyecup gave out and now I can no longer remove the rubber eyecup to attach their T adapter which is used to fasten to a T ring and then to a camera. The threads are seized. I contacted Celestron and they offered to replace the whole scope as it has a lifetime warranty. I am reluctant to return it just to fix the eyepiece. I have ordered an adapter that clamps around the eyepiece and hopefully fixes the problem. The eyepiece is terrific at powers from 20 to 30X and works well for digiscoping. It gives great pictures at 20-30X. Other 1.25" eyepieces can be used as well with the scope. But the original eyepiece is the best that I have seen so far for digiscoping. I paid twice what he did and don't know where he bought it new for such a low price. Still a great value.
Hi Michael! Thank you for your comment and adding value to anyone considering getting this scope! Fortunately I don't use it for digiscoping, so no opinions from me there. I managed to snag a deal off AMAZON for the price I paid. Thanks again! I hope your scope offers many hours of joy!
that blueish tinge you're describing is called chromatic aberration and it's caused by different wavelengths of light splitting apart as it passes through the lenses.
@@SafariWian it’s a common problem with refracting telescopes but can be fixed by adding more lenses (though they’re usually more expensive.) Apochromatic refractors eliminate the problem almost entirely.
Hi there @g bruceg. Once you hit 60x magnification, the edges get a little blurry and it also gets that “blueish” tinge (Chromatic Aberration) around the edges. I hope this helps🤠
I have a question, i am considering to buy one of these scopes to observe animals and occasionally the moon; crossing on internet I’ve seen two different models of scopes: the Celestron trailseeker 80 and the Celestron ultima 80, both with pretty the same characteristics. Can you advise me which one of them is better for you? Thank you for your time and great video ;)
Hey Daniel. I personally believe that the Trailseeker is the better option, simply because it’s been made to work. I prefer the rubber coating of the Trailseeker over the harder body of the Ultima. I use my a scope for a lot of birding and it does take a beating in the African bush! I hope this helps.
Hi ItssJustSam. It actually works quite well. The zoom isn’t too great, so catching a full moon while it’s still low would be best and I would suggest doing it as far away from any light pollution as possible. Are you considering getting a scope?
Hi Hoan Ngoc Vu, I paid USD 270.00 for mine on Amazon. Here’s a link www.amazon.com/Celestron-52332-TrailSeeker-Degree-Spotting/dp/B014TI7MG8/ref=mp_s_a_1_11?keywords=celestron+80&qid=1582477495&sr=8-11. I hope this helps, but please let me know if I can help with anything else.
Yo los dos que he comprado , los he pedido en telescopioterrestre.es , hay muchos también binoculares, trípodes.. esta muy bien, espero haberte ayudado 😊
@@danielsanchezsanchez7196 muchas gracias que pronto, no me lo esperaba 👏🏼👏🏼 muchas gracias, cual tienes?, me quiero comprar uno, que no sea muy caro 😰
Hola Daniel como estás, me encantan sus videos sobre los catalejos son excelentes. soy aficionado a la naturaleza al campo a los pájaros etc. Daniel me hace el favor cuál de estos telescopios es mejor en alcance, en nitidez, y en calidad, el Celestron última 100, o el Celestron última 100 ED o el Celestron trailseeker 100 quiero comprar uno pero no sé en cuál .gracias Daniel.
