It's 8400% so 84x maybe?
But no. Not interested. I have 10x50 binoculars so no need for a 50mm monocular.

The picture on the screen never moves even though the camera is.
Even the posted reviews say nothing about the product, they just highlight the marketing of it.

From the FAQ:
"Can I use the Starscope Monocular without a phone?"
"Yes, the monocular is a fully-functional telescopic monocular. You can hold it up to your eye and see things over 50 miles away!"
