Kowa TSN-770 Series Straight Body High Performance Spotting Scope with PROMINAR XD Lens, 77 mm Green

Terrific performance. Effectively no chromatic aberration detectable by eye, and minimal even when pixel-peeping photos made in combination with the (separately purchased) TE-11WZ 25-60X zoom eye-piece.I have hooked the Kowa up to a Fuji X-E2 camera using the following items (in addition to the 25-60X Kowa TE-11WZ eyepiece):1. Kowa photoadapter (about $77):  TSN-PA7 DSLR Digiscoping Adapter for TSN-880 & TSN-770 Spotting Scopes 2. Fotodiox lens mount for Fujifilm's new style X mounnt (about $20):  Fotodiox Lens Mount Adapter, T2/T-Mount Lens to Fujifilm X-Series Mirrorless Cameras such as X-Pro1, X-E1, X-M1, X-A1 & X-E2 3. A 50 mm Acra-type base plate for the Kowa scope (about $10): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007P8CWGU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=14. A 140 mm Acra nodal slide rail (this is used in combination with item 3) to rebalance the center of gravity of the system over the middle of tripod https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007P8CWGU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=15. A great tripod head. You cannot beat this head for convenience and quality: the Arca-Swiss Monoball P0 S (about $310)https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ZFQMAU/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0Here is a link to a photo of the moon shot at 60x: https://www.flickr.com/photos/thenthere/23941788552/in/dateposted/

OH MY GOD. This thing is incredible. Far exceeded my expectations by miles. Paired with a fixed 30x zoom eyepiece it rivals any Swarovski I've looked through. It feels super durable and high quality and the focus is easy to operate. I have never been so pleased with an optics purchase. How is this thing so cheap and why do more people not know about them?

As good as any I have experienced at 1/3 the price.
