Telescopes

A spotting scope is a version of the telescope that can be used every day and is fairly portable. A spotting scope is essentially a smaller version of the Astro telescope. However they do differ from an astronomical telescope in several important ways. A spotting scope always produces an upright image whereas a telescope used in astronomy may produce a reversed image or even an upside down image. A spotting scope has a lower magnification instrument than a telescope. Another feature of a spotting scope is the fact that most are waterproof and fogproof, which is important for what spotting scopes are used for. Spotting scopes are used anytime you need more magnification than a binocular provides. Spotting scopes are widely used for birding, surveillance, hunting, and viewing landscape, wildlife, ships and other distant objects. Spotting scopes are also used for scoring targets on rifle, pistol and archery ranges and they can also be used to some astronomy. Last, but not least, spotting scopes is also used to take long distance pictures with a variety of cameras.
