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

This is a discontinued item. We suggest the C6 Acromat Refractor OTA as a replacement.

An excellent choice for the serious astronomer, the C6-R is the largest telescope in its class with over 6 times the light gathering ability of a 60mm

FOCAL LENGTH - 2350 mm f/10 OPTICAL COATINGS - Starbright XLT OPTICAL DESIGN - Aplanatic Schmidt

is an aplanatic Schmidt telescope designed to produce aberration-free images across a wide visual and photographic field of view. The optical system was designed to reduce more than just off-axis star coma, but also to give an astrograph quality flat focal plane all the way to the edge of the field of view.
