A friend of mine wants to spend about £150 on a spotting scope for his wife (no inappropraite comments please!). Any pointers, advice? He has seen a Selestron for £140 but given me no other details - worth a closer look?
Regards
Hugh

Hugh - there are a few customer reviews of what may be this scope at: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Celestron-Ultima-Refractor-80-45/dp/B0002CTZ70/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1275931000&sr=1-16
and another one here: http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=39116
Give In Focus or Focalpoint a call and see what they have in the way of second-hand scopes
