Spotting Scopes
Introduction
Meade Wilderness spotting scopes are ideal for high-mag-
nification, high-resolution observation of terrestrial subjects.
Explore the subtleties of a bird’s feather structure from 50
yards, read license plates more than one mile in the dis-
tance, or use the spotting scope for casual astronomical
observations.
Note: “Spotting Scope” is a term used to define a tele-
scope that is primarily intended for terrestrial (land) viewing.
Spotting Scopes can also be used for casual astronomical
observing.
Never use a Meade® Spotting Scope to look
at the Sun! Looking at or near the Sun will cause
instant and irreversible damage to your eye. Eye
damage is often painless, so there is no warning
to the observer that damage has occurred until it is too late.
Do not point the spotting scope or its viewfinder at or near
the Sun. Do not look through the spotting scope as it is
moving. Children should always have adult supervision while
observing.
