Spotting Scopes at The Binocular Site

	Spotting Scopes A spotting scope is basically a telescope designed for terrestrial viewing. Spotting scopes with apertures between 50mm and 127mm are excellent for safely viewing dangerous subjects from a distance - such as a beehive - when a handheld binocular is much too weak. Spotting scopes cost between $50 and $1,600 online. Basic designs include: Basic Fixed Eyepiece Scopes - Used for observing from your house or balcony. A simple design, offering apertures of 50mm to 102mm, and interchangeable eyepieces to increase magnification. Fixed eyepieces offer limited distances, but offer the best value in terms of aperture vs. cost. Zoom Spotting Scopes - Ideal for mobile viewers who want a variety of magnifications without having to sort through eyepieces. Even though zoom scopes are more expensive, they offer the best convenience. Schmidt-Cassegrains or Maksutov-Cassegrains - Use mirrors to fold the light back on itself, making the instrument more portable and convenient.
