Subject: spotting scopes

Not to long ago there was a good discussion on optics, including spotting
scopes. The Trumpeter Swan Society is needing to purchase 10 scopes for use
by volunteers for the lead poisoning die-off. I would like info on what
scope might be best for this and sources for getting thrm. Goof light is
needed plus good zoom.
Some scopes are simply out of our budget, but buying in bulk may allow
us to do better.
Does anyone know about the Celestron 100 model?
Thanks. Reply directly please.
