Celestron C5 Spotting Scope: Versatility Meets Optical Excellence

The Celestron C5 Spotting Scope stands as a testament to superior optical design, featuring a 5" Schmidt-Cassegrain system with StarBright XLT Coatings, delivering exceptional clarity and brightness. This scope comes with a 25 mm eyepiece offering 50x magnification, a 45° erect image diagonal, and a 6x30 erect image finderscope, all packaged in a water-resistant, soft-sided case. Notably, the C5's exceptional quality was recognized by NASA, as it was selected for various space shuttle missions.

Weighing just six pounds and measuring 11 inches in length, the C5 is not only powerful but also remarkably portable, making it an ideal companion for serious bird watchers, nature enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates stunning views, whether at home or in the field. Its 5" aperture significantly outshines smaller scopes, providing substantially more light gathering ability.

The C5 is a multi-purpose instrument, adept at close-up observations of wildlife and plant life, as well as serving as an astronomical telescope. Its near focus of approximately 20 feet allows for detailed viewing of nearby subjects. As a telephoto lens, the C5 excels with its 1250 mm f/10 configuration.

For photography enthusiasts, the C5 is fully adaptable for cameras. Attaching a suitable T-Adapter and T-Ring transforms it into a high-quality telephoto lens for SLR cameras. Its tripod adapter block facilitates easy mounting for both viewing and photography. The Celestron C5 Spotting Scope, complete with its carrying case, offers a lifetime of versatile, high-quality viewing and photography experiences.
