| joshljoshl's Full Review: Tasco Luminova 40060578 (578 x 60mm) Telescope |
Of course a scope of this weight and quality is going to bounce around a bit. When you're magnifying something 500+ times, that's 500+ times more sensitive to movement. That said, I had no problem locating objects with it, although it does take a while to adjust the spotting scope to be in line with the main tube. The friction screws that hold the eyepieces on are definitely not top-quality, just make sure everything is inserted snugly before you tighten the screws and it shouldn't be a problem. Minutes after opening the box I was reading the sign on an office building over 2 miles away. For the $80 or so you'll pay online, it's not a bad deal!
