High quality spotter at max power?

[Iltasyuko]

I spent a grand on my spotting scope and the quality at max power (60) suffers compared to when dialed down to lower powers. Do the high end $2000 + spotters retain super sharp image quality when zoomed to max power?

yes, it's incredible the amont of light the big 3 let in..

Short answer. The top end optics are better but, under low light conditiions or when there is mirage they lose definition and you are better going lower on the power. Nothing is perfect.

Under perfect conditions the highest end spotters do better than mid-range. But nothing performs perfectly at high range, with the possible exception of the Hubble, but it's heavy...
