Celestron C5 50x Spotting Scope

The C5 spotting scope is an ideal choice for the serious bird watcher, nature lover or anyone who enjoys beautiful views - either from your home or in the field. Its optical excellence is the reason it was chosen by NASA for many space shuttle missions.

Compact
Celestrons C5 Spotting Scope is a 5 inch (127 mm) aperture, 1250 mm f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain optical system. At just six pounds in weight and 11 inches in length, this spotting scope is a completely portable visual and photographic instrument that performs well in any viewing location. Further, Celestron offers a wide variety of optional accessories to expand the capabilities of this special instrument.

First Class
The C5s aperture of 5 inch allows it to easily outperform smaller aperture spotting scopes. Offering 4 1/2 times more light gathering ability than a 60 mm spotting scope and 2 1/2 times more than an 80 mm scope, Celestrons C5 is the clear choice when a powerful instrument delivering brilliant, crisp views is what you require. The Spotting Scope features Celestrons proprietary StarBright XLT Coatings that surpasses any other coating in the commercial telescope market.

Flexible
The C5 spotting scope is a wonderfully versatile instrument, and its near focus of approximately 20 feet allows you to observe plant life, wildlife, birds or insects with ease. At the same time, the C5 can also be used as an astronomical telescope. In addition, the C5 goes easily from working as a powerful spotting scope to being a high performance 1250 mm f/10 telephoto lens.

Effortless
Photography couldnt be easier, because the C5 is designed to be fully camera adaptable. To take professional quality shots with the C5, just attach the correct optional T- Adapter and T-Ring for your 35 mm SLR camera to the back of the C5 spotting scope, and youre ready to shoot. The tripod adapter block on the C5s tube makes easy work of mounting the instrument onto a tripod for either viewing or photography.
