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.
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 60 mm spotting scope and 2½ times more
than an 80 mm 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 1250 mm 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 35 mm 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.
