I bought this spotting scope for my son and went shooting with him a few times to check it out. Very portable, easy setup. Sighted even long-range targets easily. Stable and very clear for ground or table use.

Seldom have I been as unimpressed as I have with this scope. Though I bought it for shooting, just last night, comparing it against a Celestron 15X70 pair of binoculars, they left this scope in the dirt.
If you can find a little more money, do not buy this scope!

Celestron does make good optical devices but the Celestron C65 isn't one of them. It is severely deficient in both optical quality and quality of materials, construction and mechanical operation. Image quality at 30x is passable, at 60x poor, and at 90x so dim and fuzzy as to be useless. The first one I bought arrived with a broken horizontal movement mechanism. The zoom mechanism on the replacement broke after less than 2 hours of use. Even when working, the zoom and focus controls did not operate smoothly. They tended to stick and release making adjustment difficult. The light weight and tiny tripod also mean that the image is very shaky.
I bought this spotting scope because it was very lightweight and portable, but it seems to me that quality was sacrificed to achieve a very low price and weight.
It has a "Lifetime Warranty" but if Celestron decides that it was not defective in workmanship or materials, (i.e., you broke it) it will cost you $35 to invoke the "no fault" Lifetime Warranty. Given the fragility of this scope, it's almost certain to get broken sooner rather than later, and good luck with not paying the $35.

Very briefly Im into Astrophotography and I have a C11 XLT Goto scope with 2" optics kit. I just wanted to purchase this C65 to use as a small guide scope so the requirement for performance was only basic. To put it bluntly, the day or night images are extremely dim, making all but the brightest stars impossible to view, even those clearly visible to the naked eye! The focus control seems very loose and sloppy, however the internal mechanism is stiff making focus a real chore. Optics seem fuzzy and poorly illuminated, even on terrestrial targets at 100 mtrs. The image is noticeably dimmer than looking through one side of a budget price 10x50 binocular set I have. I have seen toy telescopes that perform better than this. I am really surprised at Celestron as I have several other items manufactured by them which are much better quality. I do not have a good word to say about this scope. Don't buy ! Not even second hand. !

Celestron C65 Mini Mak Zoom is a good mini telescope, very portable. In day light the images are fine at 30x to 90x zoom, but in night is recommendable use only 30x for best image, with more power you get obscure images. For $60 dollars all its characteristics are fine.
