I am interested in purchasing a spotting scope for viewing birds
and other types of wildlife.  The one I see used most frequently is
the Bushnell Spacemaster with the 20X eyepiece.  I also know that
Nikon makes 2 spotting scopes, one has ED glass which is about $100
more than the "vanilla" one.  Any recommendations?  Has anyone had
experiece with the Nikon ED model and is it worth the extra $100?
How about using them with a camera?  What is the effective fstop and
focal length?  I had someone at a camera store trying to sell me
the Celestron C90.  Any comments on the Celestron mirror type vs the
Nikon/Bushnell non mirror type?
