I'd recommend an optician if you can't spot the moon without these...

I have one of these, it can easily spot the bird who lives in the house opposite.

You'll see but the quality won't necessarily be that great.
I've taken some decent pics with a 70mm refractor tho so...

With all things optical - you get what you pay for - for the money this is a good place to start - I've had one for about 6 years

That would be a telescope you seek......
Spotting scopes are just that. For spotting something at medium magnification then switching to something with more magnification for close up inspection, like a sniper scope, or the binoculars I keep near my upstairs window when my neighbour improves her tan on the balcony....

Anyone know if it's easy to attach a camera or mobile phone to these to take photos. Cheers

Can this be attached to a full size photographic tripod?
Is it suitable for checking out birds on my local beach in the summer?

Specs look good for the money, how are the optics?

These are excellent. I use one for archery. A 122cm target fills the viewfinder at 50 yards at lowest zoom. Perfect.

I bought one from Lidl for £25
It's awfully difficult to try and get a focussed image at all, and when you do it's as dull as ditchwater. Don't waste your money.

This post is really great. Now I use Gosky 20-60X 80 Porro Prism Spotting Scope. It is a really nice and easy to use Scope. The view is clear and the quality is excellent. Planning to take some photos of the moon when the sky gets clear. Good value for the money.
