Optical features of this scope . . .

• 50mm objective lens: Its 50mm objective lens is fully anti-reflection coated for good light transmission, as is the image erecting prism system.

• Zoom eyepiece: Its 15-45x fully coated zoom eyepiece has a rolldown rubber eyecup for eyeglass use. Eye relief is specified to be 15mm at 15x and 11mm at 45x. While these figures are technically correct, the actual usable eye relief of this and all other spotting scopes typically measures a mm or two less due to the recessed location of the eyepiece. There will be some minor vignetting of the field for eyeglass wearers.

• Close focus: The scope close focuses down to 19’. Through the 50mm Celestron zoom, looking at a bird at that distance at 15x would effectively be the same as looking with your unaided eye from a distance of only 15".

• Focus knob: The scope’s focusing knob is located at the top right front of the prism housing to allow precise focusing with either hand, even while wearing gloves or mittens. It is semi-recessed to resist snagging on clothing or carrying case and is grooved for a sure grip. Magnification is changed by turning a ring at the base of the eyepiece.

• Tripod: A fixed height metal tabletop/cartop tripod is standard equipment. It has a standard 1/4"-20 thread mounting bolt that threads into the tripod mount hole on the underside of the scope to hold the scope firmly in place. A simple twist on the pan handle locks and unlocks the tripod head, allowing you to move the scope in any direction to track moving targets. Another twist on the handle locks the scope in place for extended viewing of stationary targets. Rubber-tipped feet on the tripod allow you to use it on car hood or roof without marring the car’s finish. In addition, the tripod mount on the underside of the scope allow you to mount the scope on any full-size photo tripod having a standard 1/4"-20 thread mounting bolt.

• Waterproof: The Celestron 50mm zoom refractor is waterproof. While it is not guaranteed to be fully submersible, sudden showers or wind-blown ocean spray are no cause for concern.

• Cases: A soft case is standard equipment, as is an aluminum frame hard carrying/storage case. Protective slip-on dust covers are provided for both objective lens and eyepiece.

• Warranty: The Celestron 50mm refractor zoom spotting scope is protected by Celestron’s Lifetime No-Fault Warranty. For full details, click on the “Warranty Information" link to the left, and then click on the “Celestron" link in the list of manufacturers that opens up.
