Does double duty!
Celestron's super-popular C90 Maksutov-Cassegrain spotting scope provides great performance in low-light conditions and in a variety of circumstances, making it an excellent choice for both terrestrial and astronomical use.
This C90 "Mak" has excellent optics that give razor-sharp images over a wide field. The scope also incorporates an internal flip-mirror system that allows a user to view celestial objects at a 90-degree angle or to get correctly oriented views of land objects at a 45-degree angle.
Clad in durable, black rubber armor for protection, the waterproof C90 has a flip-up lens cap for safety and comes in its own soft-sided carrying case.

Connecting a camera
To connect the C90 Spotting Scope to a 35mm SLR camera you will need 2 simple parts. First is the universal T-adapter. This accessory will connect to your C90 spotting scope. Second is a T-ring made specifically for the camera you need to attach. The T-ring will attach to your camera, allowing you to make connection to the universal T adapter and in turn to the scope. This combination is a very simple way to attach your 35mm SLR camera to your C90 spotting scope for long-range photography.
Get greater magnification
If you want even more magnification than the included 32mm (38X) eyepiece, try the X-Cel Series 1.25-inch, 25mm eyepiece. This eyepiece will give you 48X magnification.
And, if you want to get the very most from the C90 spotting scope, choose a X-Cel Series 1.25-inch, 10mm eyepiece. It will give you 120X magnification.
For vibration-free viewing, choose the Zhumell Professional Tripod.

An excellent grab and go scope.

"This is a real good choice for a grab and go scope. I have several large, complicated and/or otherwise prolonged set up type scopes. What I needed was an on the fly ready to go telescope and this is it. The one thing I will mention first that has been over looked is the case (sorry to hear about the strap). The case is quit well equipped for the addition of eyepieces in it's extra cut out spaces in the high dens..." Read Full Review »

Very good scope at a great price.

★★★★☆

4.0

"I did a bit of research on birding sites, and they all ranked this scope quite high for its optics. It is a bit bulky for field work, great for a blind or casual observations from the house. It is also powerful enough to be a reasonable cross-over scope for moon watching and planetary observations. …" Read Full Review »
