Celestron Ultima 80 Spotting Scope with 20-60x Zoom Eyepiece

Celestron's popular Ultima 80mm Zoom Spotting Scope is designed to deliver images that are noticeably brighter and sharper than entry-level 60mm spotters. The Ultima 80 is a refractor-style spotting scope featuring an Achromatic objective lens, ensuring excellent light transmission through the use of multi-layer anti-reflection coatings on the objective lens, zoom eyepiece, and BAK-4 prisms.

The 80mm multi-coated objective lens provides 77% brighter views compared to a 60mm scope, and the built-in zoom lens produces sharp images from 20x up to 60x magnification. Measuring just over 18 inches long and weighing around 3.6 pounds, the Ultima 80 boasts a sleek, waterproof design and includes a padded soft case with zippers on both ends, allowing the scope to be protected even while mounted on a tripod.

One of the standout features of the Ultima 80 is its 45-degree angled eyepiece, which enables the use of a shorter tripod to support the spotting scope during viewing or when taking pictures with a small camera attached to the standard "T-thread" on the eyepiece.

The focus range of the Ultima 80 spans from 27 feet to the horizon, with just a few turns of the focus knob. When the rubber eye cup is folded down, users can keep their glasses on and enjoy the full 2-degree field of view at 20x magnification. Even when zooming up to 60x, little focus adjustment is needed when wearing glasses.

While the traditional crown and flint Achromatic lens used in the Ultima 80 Zoom Spotting Scope may exhibit some false color or chromatic aberration, especially at higher magnifications, Celestron offers alternative models, such as the Ultima 80ED and the Regal 80 F-ED, which utilize exotic ED glass lenses to virtually eliminate this issue and deliver the sharpest possible high-power views.

The Ultima 80mm spotting scope provides a significant upgrade in aperture from the 65mm, resulting in 50% brighter images. Packed with excellent multi-coated optics in a portable and durable refractor design, the Ultima 80 comes standard with a 20-60x zoom eyepiece, making it a versatile all-around optical instrument.

Outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers will appreciate the Ultima 80's performance for observing nature and long-distance spotting. The green metal optical tube blends discreetly into any natural environment, making it a great companion for nature or outdoor enthusiasts.

Celestron's Ultima Angled Zoom Spotting Scope, with its 80mm objective lens, 20-60x zoom, and 45-degree viewing angle, is the ideal choice for any outdoor enthusiast, perfect for observing nature and long-distance viewing.

Backed by Celestron's Limited Lifetime US Warranty and US-based expert technical support, the Ultima 80 spotting scope can be purchased with confidence from a leading optics brand in California since 1960.
