Daylight optics that double for the Moon · review
A 20–60x80 spotting scope with BAK4 porro prisms and fully multi-coated optics, supplied with a full-metal tabletop tripod, a phone adapter and a carry case.
The bottom line A well-equipped daytime scope whose published field of view has lost its meaning somewhere in translation.
Divided by twenty, the objective yields a 4 mm exit pupil — bright, comfortable, and usable at dusk. Divided by sixty it yields 1.3 mm, which is dim and demands that the eye sit exactly right. Every zoom spotting scope behaves this way, and knowing the arithmetic sets the expectation.
A full-metal tabletop tripod, a digiscoping adapter, a carry case, lens covers and a cleaning cloth. At this price that is a complete outfit, and the metal tripod in particular is a step above the plastic ones usually supplied.
The second bullet offers “a field of view of 1000 metres”. Field of view is an angle: 2.06 degrees, or 36 metres at 1000 metres, or something of that form. What is printed cannot be read as either, and this page reports it rather than inventing a figure.
The zoom eyepiece is built in. Without a 1.25 in barrel there is no way to fit a proper astronomical eyepiece, a nebula filter or a Barlow — which is the boundary between a spotting scope and a small telescope.

Yes, within limits. At the 20x end an 80 mm objective gives a 4 mm exit pupil, which shows the Moon well, Jupiter’s moons and bright clusters. What it lacks is a removable eyepiece and an equatorial mount.
Field of view is an angle, usually written as degrees or as metres at 1000 m. “A field of view of 1000 metres” is neither, and nothing in the listing supplies the missing half of the figure.
