Did you find the included samples not-sharp or particular lack-luster?

Swarovski scopes are amazing scopes and using using a modern smartphone can yield impressive results.

If you’re into serious photography with a camera other than a smartphone, you’ll be much better of buying any off-brand 150-600mm lens and any type of SLR for a third of what you paid for your STX 95mm.

Long story short – telescope for telescoping, photographer gear for photography.

Thank you for commenting

My own experience in using a 95mm STX scope with the APO digiscoping adapter has been getting some remarkably sharp images of wading birds. Provided you accept their limitations they can produce some stunning results..
Clearly they are never going to compete with telephoto lenses for shooting small birds in woodland or in low light scenarios but for that you need to lug £12k of 4.5kg canon or Nikon glass around and many of us have neither the muscles nor the cash to do that

Thanks for pointing it out 🙂
Obviously a spelling error like the one you just did by calling it Fourite and not Fluorite.

The lenses actually are made with FOURITE, a calcium flouride compound used in the manufacture of apochromatic lenses.
