C-5 Schmidt Cassegrain Spotting Scope by Celestron
Bring “Faraway” up close with Celestron’s C-5 Schmidt Cassegrain Spotting Scope. Birders, naturalists, and anyone wishing to enhance details of their view (over land or water, in the field, from a deck, or even through window glass) will appreciate the C-5’s spectacularly sharp, bright images.
The C-5 is a completely portable, high-power-visual and high-performance-photographic instrument that opens the curtain to everything you want to see “out there.” Think forest, fields, mountains, grizzlies, hummingbirds, freighters, water lilies, frogs, and even the night sky–the C-5 is your ticket to THE SHOW!
The C-5’s extra-wide aperture and superb lens coatings maximize the throughput of light, resulting in an exceptionally bright, high-contrast image. The long focal length assures minimal distortion because with limited bending, the light rays are precisely concentrated at the focal point producing an extremely sharp image. A catadioptric optical system folds that long focal length, thus a short, conveniently compact tube is possible.
