Celestron - C5 Spotting Scope

Celestron’s C5 Spotting Scope is a 5” (127mm) aperture, 1250mm f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain optical
system. Its optical excellence is the reason it was chosen by NASA for many space shuttle
missions.

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. 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.

The C5’s aperture of 5” allows it to easily outperform smaller aperture spotting scopes. Offering
4½ times more light gathering ability than a 60mm spotting scope and 2½ times more than an 80mm
scope, Celestron’s C5 is the clear choice when a powerful instrument delivering brilliant, crisp
views is what you require.

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 1250mm f/10 telephoto lens.

Photography couldn’t 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 35mm SLR camera to the back of the C5 spotting scope, and you’re ready to shoot. The
tripod adapter block on the C5’s tube makes easy work of mounting the instrument onto a tripod
for either viewing or photography. The C5 comes complete inside its own soft sided carrying case
