Discover the Celestron C5 Spotting Scope, a high-performance optical instrument featuring a 5" (127mm) aperture and a 1250mm f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain optical system. This exceptional spotting scope was selected by NASA for numerous space shuttle missions, a testament to its superior optical quality. Ideal for avid bird watchers, nature enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates stunning views, the C5 Spotting Scope offers a unique blend of portability and power. Weighing just six pounds and measuring 11 inches in length, this compact yet robust spotting scope can be easily transported to any viewing location. Celestron's C5 Spotting Scope outshines smaller aperture spotting scopes with its 5" aperture, providing 4.5x more light gathering ability than a 60mm scope and 2.5x more than an 80mm scope.

This versatile spotting scope has a near focus of approximately 20 feet, making it perfect for observing plant life, wildlife, birds, or insects in vivid detail. Additionally, the C5 can double as an astronomical telescope, expanding your viewing capabilities to the stars. Transitioning from a high-performance spotting scope to a 1250mm f/10 telephoto lens is effortless with the C5. Designed to be fully camera adaptable, it allows for easy photography. Simply attach the appropriate optional T-Adapter and T-Ring for your 35mm SLR camera to the back of the C5 spotting scope, and you're set to capture professional-quality shots.

i like it

Will take pictures of wildlife, Have already shot the moon. This is a 24 HR tool to your inner child. Ease of use for everybody, beginner on.  Love it.

Great for Day & Night

I have had two of these scopes as well as their big brother a C8 and was well satisfied by all of them. For photgraphic use a lens shade is a must.
I used a Minolta X700, and a Canon 50D

Great scope for photography & astronomy

I had two of these telescopes delivered just before Christmas.  The first one had image sharpness problems.  Sent it back and received another.  The second one had a scratch on the 45 degree lens.  Sent it back and suggest Celestron to review their quality.

Quality problems

I am extremely satisfied with the C5 spotting scope.  I found the setup and adjustments straightforward.  I ordered a 15 mm eyepiece with the scope and am very pleased with the additional magnification that it provides.  Also, I have experimented with 35 mm photography using my Canon AE-1 with excellent results - better that I expected as I am not a professional.  I strongly recommend the C5 to anyone interested in an excellent daylight scope for viewing and for photography, and for causual astronomical use.
