Product Description
Celestron's Ultima 100 ED spotting scope offers 50% brighter images than the 80mm, allowing for better performance in low light conditions. Like the Ultima 80ED, the 100mm version is a high performance model that features cutting edge optics with extra low dispersion glass (ED). ED glass provides excellent color correction and razor sharp images for serious nature and bird watchers. ED version models are also ideal for virtually eliminating chromatic aberration usually seen during planetary and lunar viewing. Day or night, this scope is optimized to provide the sharpest images available. This model also features charcoal color rubber textured paint for secure grip. Features Extra-Low Dispersion Glass: to Reduce Chromatic Aberration for Razor Sharp Images. Fully Multi-Coated Optics. 22-66x Zoom Eyepiece. Rubber Coated Texture Provides a Comfortable and Secure Grip. Sight Tube for Quick Targeting.

A very fine scope, if you need a scope this good.,

This review is from: Celestron 52253 Ultima 100ED Zoom Spotting Scope (Electronics)
Pretty good optics. Clarity suffers a bit at the top 10 power or so, but it is not really fair to compare this to the performance of a $1500+ scope or something. It is leaps and bounds better than the $50 scopes you'd get at a department store, but honestly I am not fully convinced it is vastly superior enough to, say, a $200 or so scope for most people to justify paying double that unless you are doing astronomy or low-light viewing. You're getting a large objective and really good glass, but this is not as important for something like target shooting as the previously mentioned activities.
Be aware though, this thing is huge in every way imaginable. With the eyepiece on, it will need a box with around 23" inches of interior width. I would have liked an included hardcase, but I guess I would rather have a better scope than a lesser scope with a free case for the same price. I found that a surplus military 81mm ammo case ($19) worked fairly well with additional padding and will have enough room for a smaller tripod or other accessories. It's weight is also very high, at around 4.5 lbs. No normal tripod can hope to stabilize this at mid to high powers. Frankly, the tripod you would need to properly utilize the scope at high magnification would probably approach the cost of the scope itself. I have ordered and will try a smaller table tripod that is rated for 11 lbs (camera/astronomy guys all know that the "capacity" and adequate stabilization weights on tripods are not the same and manufacturer numbers tend to be misleadingly high.)

Great Scope, Great Price,

My friends with Leopolds and Swarovskis look through my spotting scope and are blown away at how clear it is for the price.
If you are on a budget then this is the perfect scope (and I would say to give it a look even if you aren't on a budget).
