Celestron 52260, 52270 instruction manual Wide View Spotting Scope

The Wide View Spotting Scope

This section covers the correct set up and operating procedures for your Celestron 80mm or 102mm Wide View spotting scope and includes information on visual and photographic observations. The Wide View spotting scope uses a classical refractor optical design with a two- element (achromatic) lens made of crown and flint glass. Unlike other spotting scopes which have built-in correcting prisms, the Wide View uses a diagonal to produce a correctly oriented image. This allows you to use your spotting scope like a conventional telephoto when a camera is attached. The basic Celestron Wide View comes standard with the following accessories:

80mm Wide View	102mm Wide View
20mm Plossl Eyepiece 1 1/4” (20x)	25mm Plossl Eyepiece 1 1/4” (20x)
