Early this month when there was sale for Celestron Spotting Scope, I was thinking I don't know when next Bushnell's Spotting Scope sale is gonna come so why not give a shot with this. Plus Bushnell Spotting Scope got many bad reviews but I haven't found any Celestron's review.
So I since I bought it, I never had chance to go to range but I gave a look at my back yard. In addition I bought Carlson Hookupz for Iphone/binocular from ebay for around 20$ so I can record my shots and easy to observe.

Hookupz is for Iphone5 but it came with Iphone 4/4s conversion kit, which are just two stickers to fill up the space.
Eyepiece of Celestron's scope is very small so I have to make something to fill the gap. Maybe I should've bought Monocular version but maybe this one could have more use later on with other optics...

I never had experience with other expensive optics but it surely better then my other binoculars. I can notice there are some black dots when I see in shadows of optic but not recognizable in daylight condition.
Images were clear for my eyes, good enough for spotting target. I don't think it is clear enough to observe birds and its details but that is for someone else.
Overall it will do the job at local gun range which has only up to 100m range.
It will be possible for furthermore but opinions may vary since target sizes and colors will take effect.
Price was around 85$ I believe. It is pricier then Bushnell's on sale but I'm very satisfy with my purchase and looking forward to trip to range next time
Especially with iPhone Hookupz
