Any one tried to use spotting scope for astronomy?
Does it work?
Some can be very expensive too, few grand or so!
If it works, what's the cons and pros using it?


Celestron Ultima 80mm spotting scope - SUN

It can show the Sunspots, while my 4" APO can show details in the sunspots.
Lighter, darker areas etc...!
