This is an un-offical review of the no longer made TASCO 15 to 45 zoom spoting scope. I don't know when it was made but I have a idea it was from Japan. You foucs with the front lens as it has a ring and does turn. The 15 to 45 is done back in front of the EP with another turning ring. For the heck of it I went out last night about 9:30 and aimed it at the moon. At the 15x it was a clear image of the moon, about like some low power bino's. At the 45x I could still get a clear image but over all it was dimmer. Today I went out front and spyed on Edwards AFB, I got my best images at 15,30x's, I could still get a fair image at 45x. but at the 15x it was nice and bright and clear. I think this thing was made as a Earth viewing spotting scope. It down have a place for a normal tripot for mounting, it can be used just about anyplace. Heck, the price was right! -- There are those who believe that life here, began out there, far across the universe, with tribes of humans, who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians, or the Toltechs, or the Mayans. Some believe that they may yet be brothers of man, who even now fight to survive, somewhere beyond the heavens.
