Barska CO11502 20-60x60 Waterproof Straight Spotting Scope with Tripod
Buy new: List $189.99 Amazon price $70.83

6 new from $70.83 5 used from $58.25

That look slike a pretty good deal.
One thing I did see anyone mention to Beth are tripods. Some of the lower priced scopes don't have a tripod, and at the kind of magnification powers being used, it seems it would be next to impossible to hold it steady long enough to be able to see.
