TheWoWDBThis quest does seem to be bugged at times. On one toon I had no issues, and on the other the spyglass didn't respond on several occasions. I ended hearthing to my garrison, logging out, and back in, and then flying to Frostwolf Overlook, and I was finally able to click on it and complete the quest. You just have to keep trying.

I'm having trouble with this quest where it's not letting me click on the highlighted telescope. Bugged?
A simple log out and log in fixed it for me.

Description
Your allies sent along a goblin, Gazlowe, to advise us against the Iron Horde. Thus far, he has proven a valuable asset. He has a looking glass set up that can see a great distance and, he claims, even hear. Use this looking glass and report back what you've seen. I will stick to my standard spyglass.
