    Seems well-made and functional4
    I was somehow expecting this to be plastic but it's nearly all metal and feels solid. Very simple to use and wouldn't cause handling confusion in a fight.

    The trigger is not the cocked, spring-loaded type. It just applies steady pressure to the back of the "can" which pushes on a nozzle up front, spraying through a pinhole cap. It's basically a pressurized squirt gun.

    A water cartridge test showed potential for a 30 foot range if arced. Definitely more precise than a standard unit and safer than bear spray fog in a house. The LED light is an obvious aid for nighttime aiming.

    My only design complaint is 1mm of slack causing the cartridge to shift. This means the nozzle tip doesn't quite seat in the front porthole until you start pulling the trigger. You can fix that with a shim.

    The handle says to replace the cartridge every year, but the cartridge itself shows a 4-5 year date. If I don't smell leaking pepper I'll wait.

    I would recommend this above standard canisters but it could be bulky for street use and the gun shape might provoke an escalated showdown. Upon drawing this you should make it clear that it's not a firearm.

    Works good at 10X,but the more zoom you use the harder it is to focus.At 30X almost impossible to focus.

    Very hard to focus distant objetcts1
    Although it is very easy to focus objects which are very close to you, it is almost impossible to focus distant objects. This made them useless for me. I finally bought 8x21 binos, much cheaper and more compact; providing crispy images with distant objects.
    I don't recommend this product.

    Telrad Finder Sight

    Telrad Finder Sight

    Telrad Finder Sight

    The easiest way to aim a telescope. The view seen through the window of the Telrad is continuous with the sky around it, not magnified or upside down. Three rings are lighted and appear to lie among the stars. The small ring outlines the Moon-sized area seen in the telescope. The large outer ring outlines the area seen in a standard Finderscope. To point your telescope, just look through the Telrad and move the telescope until the rings are centered on the object. The Telrad is 8 inches long. Weighs 11 ounces and mounts on any telescope without drilling any holes. It unlocks from its base for separate storage. Requires 2 AA batteries (not included).

    Excellent finder for ATM Telescope Project5
    I bought this after trying several other "DIY" finder scope solutions: rifle scope (eye relief too long, field of view too small) 10x50 binoculars (too cumbersome), drinking straw (field of view too small), sighting down the edge of the rocker box (really awkward). FYI it comes with a mounting plate that attaches to the scope body with the included double sided foam tape. The finder is then attached to the mount plate by two thumbscrews. P.S. The red circles can be turned up bright enough for daytime use too!

    Telrad Finder Sight5
    This product made my telescope incredibly more user friendly. I would recommend this to anyone using a non-goto scope. If you know even just a few constellations, you can find many objects that you could not find before. The variable intensity is worth it alone.

    OH NO, This thing is HUGE! It Doesn't need to be this HUGE!3
    The Telrad Finder works very well for what its design to do. My beef with this finder is the enormous size of it. IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THIS HUGE! The unit is 8.5" Long by 4.5" Tall at the sight. When you open the unit to put the batteries in you see a cavernous body of wasted space. I'll need to take my Camera mount off just to fit trhis unit. If your scope is less than 15" long (ie ETX 125 is too small), I would pass this finder up. It's strictly for the BIG BOYS. I did some measuring of the wasted space and it could be re designed down to 4" x 3" with absolutely no loss in optics or finding ability. If you have a small personal telescope, I'd search for RED DOT finders.

    From The Manufacturer
    Tasco's best-selling Essentials line balances optical performance and quality construction, offering an affordable way to add a pair of high-quality binoculars to your household, pocket, or suitcase. The handsome, rubber-armored housing not only absorbs shock and protects them from bumps and bruises, it adds in a weather resistance factor should it decide to rain--or snow--at the big event.

    Our most versatile, all-purpose binoculars feature an impressive 500 ft. field-of-view.

    The Zip focus system allows you to move through the entire focus range in less than a half-turn of the focus wheel--an excellent feature for following fast action. They are especially suited for use over water, snow and in other bright conditions.

    Our most versatile, all-purpose binoculars feature an impressive 500 ft. field-of-view.

  • Weight: 22.4 ounces
  • Features: Wide angle, black rubber armor, carrying pouch and neck strap

    Tech Talk

  • Magnification: Magnification is indicated by the first number given. For instance, "7x" means that you will see an object seven times closer than if you were viewing with the naked eye.
  • Objective Lens Diameter: The objective lens diameter is indicated by the second number (e.g., 21mm), which indicates how much light is able to enter the binocular. The larger this number is the better your sight will be in lower light conditions.
  • Porro Prisms: The distinctive, off-set binocular housings accommodate two internal porro prisms, which are used to elongate the light path to enable higher magnifications than primitive field or "opera" glasses. Porro prism binoculars typically deliver exceptionally high optical quality at more affordable prices than roof prism binoculars of the same power rating.

    A good balance of price and quality4
    In spite of the tendency to promote high powered binoculars, the 7X35 wide angle remains the handiest size. Reasonably light and compact, and fine for daytime use.

    I'm not a binocular connoisseur, but the Tasco binoculars defined the detail on quail in my yard just fine. I felt no eyestrain while using the pair. The focus is very quick and easy, a great improvement over the old kind, where you turn and turn a wheel.

    Bought for a gift5
    I got this for my husband for Christmas. He thinks it's wonderful. I didn't know what I was buying but I read the other reviews for this item which helped me make my decision to buy this scope. So, I can only say that my husband says it's a really good scope.

    Price+product=WINNER5
    I purchased this scope simply for target spotting at the range. 200m,100m and everything in between this scope worked without flaw. Crisp clear optics and focus adjustments gave me a very pleasurable day at the range. With all that you get in this package at the insane low price how can you go wrong. Perfect for sighting in those rifles!

    great fancy opera glasses5
    These opera glasses arrive in a very ugly retail box, but inside are these beautful opera glasses. They are not only beautiful, but have great magnification an clarity. The neckchain is high quality and a tremendous bonus. I was thrilled with this purchase, especially for the price.

    Some reviewers mentioned not being able to adjust the glasses to their narrow set eyes, but my eyes are narrow set and I had no problem.

    Would highly recommend these opera glasses to any woman (way too fru-fru for a guy)

    not adjustable enough3
    These opera glasses look beautiful and seem to be a great value (for example, a pair that looks the same that was for sale at the opera house cost ~$90!) Unfortunately, I have a small face and the two eyepieces do not get close enough together for me. They are adjustable, just not enough.

    Barska Blueline 3x25 Opera Glass w/ Necklace 1
    The glasses have only one adjustment in the center for both eyes, and do not have the individual eye adjustment that is usually provided for one eye so that a sharper focus can be achieved when the center adjustment is employed. I would recommend purchasing a step higher for that purpose because I could not get a good focus with just a center adjustment.

    The instructions that were in the box were for another product.

    The reason I selected these glasses was because they were the only ones that Amazon offered overnight shipment for, and I had waited until a few days before the performance to buy them. That was my fault for procrastinating. I would have spent a few more dollars for a better pair if I had allowed myself more time.

    I would not recommend buying these because of the difficuly focusing them.

    not easy to use for a novice.5
    Bushnell 675x60 Deep Space Refractor Telescope
    this scope is a very good refractor telescope.i can see how some people have a hard time with the function of this scope. the optics seem to be of very good quality and the parts are made for a lifetime of use. i had absolutely no problem finding saturn and other planets as well as some deep space objects a.k.a stars etc. the scope has the capability of finding detail such as saturns rings and the polar caps of mars wich seems to be most of everybodys concerns when it comes to buying a good scope. for the price you cannot find a better value than this refracting telescope.just have a little patience and make sure every thing is tightend securely and eventualy you will get the hang of it. bushnell has discontinued this model and most of their newer refractors are made of plastic only. two thumbs up for this scope and just have a little patience and you will be suprized.

    It's Cool3
    From the outside, this telescope looks really cool. But when you try to piece it together, it's complicated. The price of this telescope is reasonable in the toy section. It's still really good.

    Not an optical instrument but a useless toy1
    This is the perfect example of the kind of scope astronomers warn beginners against.

    The first red flag is the ridiculously high maximum magnification of over "675x." Do you know what you will see at 675x in this scope? Nothing but a dim blur. Note that the objective (main) lens is 60mm. All telescope optics have inherent limitations; maximum useful magnification per millimeter of aperture is about 2x. Therefore, with any attempt to use this scope at magnification of over 120-140x, increase in image size will be more than offset by breakdown, and that's even assuming the quality of the objective lens is any good.

    The finder is useless: a 6x30 is barely adequate, and this one does not even meet that standard. Using it for anything but the moon will be an exercise in frustration. The eyepieces are of terrible quality, with a very narrow field of view, like looking through a drinking straw.

    I do not recommend equatorial mounts for beginners. Their tracking properties are primarily for astrophotography, and for this they require careful setup. The equatorial mount on this scope is provided primarily as a marketing gimmick to impress naïve buyers with its complex "scientific" appearance.

    Buy this telescope, and I guarantee that as soon as the newness wears off it will be relegated to a forgotten corner of the attic.

    Using an astronomical telescope is not like playing an MP3 file and but rather like playing a guitar. It is a learned skill. And you must do a lot of homework before you buy a telescope. Buying without prior experience is like buying a car without knowing anything about driving. If you want to see the wonders of the sky, contact your local astronomy club and attend one of their star parties. The members love sharing their hobby and can set you straight as to how to get started. The best way is to learn the sky with the unaided eye and 10x50 binoculars (decent ones are available on Amazon), then graduate to something along the lines of a 150-200mm (6-8") Dobsonian; good ones can be found on Amazon starting under $290.

    Great Scope , Great Price ! ! ! ! 4
    I have owned 8 maybe 10 telescopes in my life . Mostly lower priced models ( Gilbert,Tasco,Bushnell )that I use for a year or two and give away . I always wanted a Celestron Newtonian and knew I was in for a pleasant surprise when I first lifted the unopened box (nearly 30 pounds) . Opening the box I went directly to the tube , and saw it was aluminum . Every single part I de-boxed was a well built part . Easy to assemble and has a great equatorial mount with steel legs on the stand . I wish it came with two eyepieces , but hey , I'll order a different one from Celestron . Buy it , if it be your first scope , or eleventh , you WILL be grateful you did

    Needs Improvement1

    Unfortunately, I'll be sending these back. :(

    And it's too bad...because the optical quality is fine...very sharp and bright with their BAK-4 high-quality prisms and Multi-coated lenses, with quick focusing using it's center-focus (the reason I bought them...I have a pair of marine binoculars from another company, that are individual-focus for each eyepiece...and I find that a real pain...it takes too much time focusing each eyepiece individually....especially while sailing.)

    Too bad, because the digital compass, and range-finder-scale are nice ideas....this new AB10800 model has been updated from their AB10160 marine binoculars with a digital readout for the compass instead of the rotating scale....a nice idea, easier to quickly read...if it worked. (the optical coating is said to be improved too..."MULTI" coated, vs. the AB10160 "FULLY" coated)

    But no matter how carefully I balanced the two wafer 3 volt Lithium batteries on top of each other, balanced on top of the big spring that acts as the negative contact for the underside of the batteries...and then carefully screwed the cap into the battery compartment, I could not get the compass to come one. Pushing what seems to be the ON/OFF button (the inadequate "manual" fails to even mention it's existence) didn't do a thing....

    ...actually, it did come on once, but the readout looked to be distorted...the digits "jumbled,"... I thought maybe it needed to be "rebooted," or that I didn't have the cap in properly, and so opened it back up to remove and reinsert the batteries, and rethread the cap, but after that the compass never came on again. I'm thinking either the digital circuitry was defective from the beginning, or the loose batteries must have shorted the internal circuitry somehow while screwing the cap back on? I tested them with a voltmeter, and they're still full-strength, so it's not them.

    ....so, with this malfunctioning digital readout, I was stuck with binoculars that have a large portion of view in one eyepiece obstructed by the big black frame around the area where the readout was supposed to be....with nothing there....I found myself wishing I just had plain binoculars, so at least I'd have a full field of view. (maybe, with a new, improved model, Barska could have more of a "Head's Up" display of the digital readout, that doesn't have the big black frame taking up valuable viewing area....i.e. just numbers overlayed on the field of view?)

    Speaking of malfunctioning, the soft plastic threads of both the battery compartment and the compartment screw-in cap are so fine, I am convinced that even if the digital readout worked fine from the beginning, it probably wouldn't be long before those ultra-fine plastic threads are accidentally cross-threaded and stripped, thereby exposing the internal workings to moisture and no longer waterproof. This compartment and cap should be of aluminum, or at least a tougher plastic like nylon...and to resolve the balancing act with the batteries flopping around on top of the big spring inside while screwing the cap in, some sort of battery-holder insert that kept them together and aligned while screwing in the cap might be the solution.

    And please, Barska, respect your own product enough to actually write a manual dedicated to the features built-in, instead of a generic sheet that covers multiple models, and doesn't even mention the push-button switch next to the battery compartment....Is it really the ON/OFF button for the compass, or does it activate an internal light for night viewing the digital readout, or what?

    Incidentally, these seem to be identical to the West Marine model with the same features, and also sold under other names like Nikula....probably all made in the same Chinese factory....so I would venture to say this review applies to them too....I'd be interested in feedback from owners of these other models if there are differences.

    Amazon.com Review
    Celestron's computerized NexStar 114 SLT adds affordable GoTo technology to a compact Newtonian reflector telescope. The complete package has everything you need to get started except the batteries. The box contains high and low power eyepieces (9mm and 25mm), the computer controller, an adjustable tripod, a red dot finder, and even a planetarium program for your personal computer.

    The NexStar 114 SLT's compact Newtonian optics produce images that are three times brighter than 60mm beginner scopes. With this telescope it's easy to see Saturn's rings and Jupiter's cloud belts. When the night air is still and clear I've been able to see the Cassini division in Saturn's rings and even spot the shadow of Jupiter's moons crossing the planets cloud tops! Deep space objects like star clusters and galaxies also show up nicely. The Ring Nebula M57, for instance, shows up as a pale smoke ring, and globular cluster M13 begins to reveal its individual stars.

    Celestron's computerized SkyAlign system is remarkably quick and easy to use. If you can see the moon, you can align this telescope! When you turn on the telescope, select "Solar System Align" on the hand control, enter the date and time, point the telescope at the moon, and press the "Align" button. That's all it takes; the computerized tracking system takes over and begins tracking, quietly, and accurately. Experienced users will love the "Auto Two-Star Align" and "SkyAlign" modes because they allow the telescope to point accurately at over 4,000 objects in the NexStar database. The accurate tracking allowed me to use a Celestron NexImage to take some nice close-up pictures of the moon and planets.

    The biggest drawback to a computerized telescope is its battery consumption. The standard AA batteries only last a few hours, but the NexStar 114 SLT works very well with an external 12-volt battery such as Celestron's Power Tank. The other drawback comes from the NexStar 114 SLT's compact optical design. This telescope uses a short-focal-length mirror combined with a corrector lens to simulate a traditional long tube reflector. This works pretty well at moderate magnification levels, but the mirrors may need to be fine-tuned, or "collimated," to get the best high power images. I find Celestron's Collimation Eyepiece helps me get this fine tuning just right, but the reward is sharp images, even when I use the high power 9mm eyepiece with a barlow lens for a magnification over 200x. --Jeff Phillips

    Pros:

  • Easy computerized GoTo system
  • Good (but not great) optics
  • Includes everything but the batteries

    Cons:
  • Short battery life
  • Optics may need occasional fine tuning

    quality5
    quality built, not lke the cheap scopes. it appears to be real solid brass. very nice product.

    Nice to look at NOT look through2
    Nice to look at NOT look through. It's extremely hard to focus and steady so making it largely impractical in the field. Nice an office decoration.

    Good quality for first-timers!4
    This is an exellent buy if this is your first brass spyglass. For being so sheap this sure is good quality, every part of it is verry accurate. I really do have seen a lot worse. People who do not CARE to examine and learn for themselves OR are not used to handle and use spyglasses may have some problem getting the focus right. In any case the focus is really sharp when you do get it right.

    You need to twist the smallest tube to change the focus depth. Pracise make perfect!

    Even thou its not verry big in size i found that it was as "big" and heavy as i would tolerate for easy carrying and easy use in a larp. You may carry it in a small beltbag, and it fits nicely in your palm.

    The only bad thing about it was the fake-leather. I bought it to use on a Pirate LARP (Live Action Role Playing) and i had to remove the plastic "leather" and sew on a new real piece of darkbrown leather myself.
    Besides this, modern brass items are often lacquerd with a special clear brass protective lacquer, witch makes it impossible to corrode. I wandted that antique feeling since im using it on larps. So in order to get that old look to it I took everything apart (total disensembling), and polished off the lacquer using a grinding machine with a verry fine polishing rondell, and reassembled it. Afer two months it looked like a movie prop, corroded (darkened) and beautiful.
    However I do not recommend anyone to do this UNLESS you are a craftsman who knows how to work metals and have basic (proffessional) polishing skills. If you are going to do this, be extra careful to remove the glass parts so that you dont accidentally polish them! And be careful not to grind away any metal or you may destroy it completley.

    There are more than five, exactly the same, spyglasses here on Amazon.com, here are three of them: This one you are reading about "from" Barska, and this one Cstar MG-25C 25x30 Pirate Scope Monocular and Brass Telescope in Presentation Box and this one Specialty 25 x 30 mm Brass Spyglass Telescope, they look exactly the same and comes with the same fake-leather carrying case. Then you have two more but with different handels Masterpiece Collection Lookout 25x40 Telescope, Brass Spy Glass, Real leather finish and Brass Telescope with Wood In Leather Case. They are all manufactured in the same place and distributed to the different vendors.

    Im about to buy "Orion Aristocrat 12x30mm Brass Hand Telescope" and 15" Telescope - Captain's Spyglass and try out the same process. Wait for my rewiev.

    I hope my rewiew was any help to you!
    Have a Good Larp!
