Question 1

Is the Celestron 52252 100 worth the extra money over the Celestron 52250 80?

Accepted Answer

Lexie,On the positive side, the larger aperture will provide brighter views in dim lighting and at higher magnifications.  In addition, the increase in size will afford an increase in resolution--lens quality being equal.  On the negative side, the 100mm scope is big and heavy which if used for birding can be a real burden.  In addition, the large aperture might have a bit more chromatic aberration (blue fringing) than the 80mm.  This really bothers some people.If your primary use is birding, I might be inclined to stay with the 80mm scope; it is vastly more portable and lessens the demands of the mount.  If it will be used for target shooting where lugging the additional weight around isn't a concern, the 100mm will provide brighter views at extended distances.If money is no object, the Regal 80, which uses low-dispersion glass in the lens, is a great value at the entry price range for HD scopes.  The image will be superior in every respect to the 5225x series scopes.Good luck,Southern birder.

Question 2

Which tripod would you recommend for this telescope. We wish to use the scope for viewing wildlife at our lake home

Accepted Answer

To answer your question better, please think about this. Think about a Celestron 100 MM scope and match that to a Celestron coach's tripod. Goes to a 45 inch. height with V & H adjustment flex rods. The 20 MM increase in light will give you much better viewing. These are quality scopes and you will get years of good service. I have three of these outfits and use them..

Question 3

Does Celestron make a hard carrying case for this scope? If yes, what is the model number? Thank you.

Accepted Answer

Celestron does not make a hard case for the scope.  I bought a Zeikos HC-36.  The scope, with the eyepiece removed, fits perfectly and is well protected.

Question 4

How well does it performs with a Canon DSLR? Planning to use it for long distance shot, terrestrial and to the moon.

Accepted Answer

The images were unsatisfactory (muddy) for my long distance shots taken with a Canon 7D.  The lens has aberrations.  It should be ok for moon shots where sharp focus is not a priority.  This is a cheap spotting scope not a camera lens.  What you see with the naked eye may not be captured on the photo image.  You are much better off using a camera lenses for your long distance photographs.  I use a 200mm Canon lens and shoot on the highest quality setting for a larger image.  This scope is fine for sighting targets at the shooting range or watching ships sail past, but it is not for photography.
