@@commonsense5709 I believe the 46P has fixed magnification while the 406P has variable magnification. Unsure if there are other differences besides that.
Yes, you can. The only reason spotting scopes aren't ideal for stargazing is that most astronomers prefer 90º eye-pieces for comfort. You'll have to either sit very low or have a very high tripod if you're stargazing at objects that are directly above you.
@@Moondog2A thanks 👍 I'm moving house to a dark sky region and have been toying with the idea of getting one of these, nothing serious but just as a bit of a pastime.
@@alex-E7WHU Good for you! Start with this scope and learn how to find objects and enjoy the sky. It's a lot easier and faster to use than an Astro scope. But if you get more serious, you can buy a dedicated Asto telescope but be waned that's a deep and expensive rabbit hole.
Once again, a video where the reviewer did not pay for the article. If no cash changed hands, you can gel me whether the thing is of value. Treat this as an advert.
You don't have to trust me. I put up the same USAF-51 resolution reference chart in all of my spotter reviews. All at 100yrds. Compare this with other scopes I've tested and judge for yourself.
For the price it looks like good build quality, but yeah the glass itself could stand to use a bit of improvement.
Their 46P has better ED glass and cost $243 on Amazon.
Their 406P $340 also has ED glass but not sure what's different between the 46P both supposedly have ED glass but there's a $103 price difference.

@@TheQuantumPotato I own a 46P 16-48x65
@@commonsense5709 Hi, on SVB web site, 46P is HD, 406 is ED, th"re both MFC and Dual Focus
Any chance of taking into consideration it's use as an stargazing thing..?

Please it’s cost Indian currency
Google it and it shows as 16,672.63 Indian Rupee
This is not a new video
Yeah, it's a review I posted on my Moondog R&D channel a few weeks ago. I reposted it here because UA-cam algorithm segments audiences.

The scope should have clarity at higher magnification that's the real scope! Only kowa does the job well at higher magnification
Don't expect Kowa quality at this price tier. Heck, don't expect Bushnell quality at this price point.
Pathetic spotting scope by svbony
