Manufacturer's Description Celestron's Ultima Refractor range was designed to perform well in a range of viewing situations, making it a great all-around optical instrument. Great for observing nature and long distance spotting and since it is completely waterproof you can feel comfortable using it in extreme weather Box Contains Celestron Review: Great scope, great price. - For the money this is a very impressive scope. It is also the winner of an award for its type and price range by top British scope users (the sky at night). The only draw back I can find with having a scope is the additional weight and that is true for all scopes not just this one. Perfect for those who want to enhance their wildlife watching experience but do not want to invest in the expensive brands which cost £300 - 1500. With the saved money you could invest in a carbon fibre tripod to help combat the weight issue. I chose to buy the Velbon Sherpa 500R from desertcart as well for around £70 and its a sturdy but versatile scope which suits the need of not just wildlife scoping user but also photography. Although the tripod is a bit on the heavy side I can still recommend it. I also urge you to buy a tripod which includes the quick release feature, it saves you much time and effort. Choose this scope and you will not be disappointed, unless you have loads of money to invest in the top of the range scopes which have an improved image quality for 10X the price. This improvement is not necessary for the everyday birder to enjoy or spot and identify wildlife. Thanks to this scope and others like it birding can be done very economically. I also recommend Bushnell as excellent and cheap binocular makers. The H2O range 8x42 is what I use and its a good binocular for the price, only £68 on desertcart! Again slightly heavy for some peoples taste but I wear them all the time and find them ideal and not too heavy at all. Review: An excellent instrument - I bought this scope because I wanted something that is reasonably portable, and therefore usable. I have a bigger scope which is more trouble than its worth with its interchangable lenses etc , Its surprisingly big and heavy and coming without a tripod, is meant for a sturdy photographic one. However, the lens system produces excellent bright sharp images throughout its zoom range. Its good for looking at the moon and basic celestial viewing, and is good on the ground too - I can read a car number-plate at a kilometre, even in dull conditions..The zoom is very handy for aiming it, which saves much frustration, Its a excellent instrument. I love it. . ## Features - ULTIMA ANGLED SPOTTING SCOPE: The outdoor enthusiast’s choice is our great all-around spotting scope with an 80mm objective lens and a 45° viewing angle. Perfect for observing nature and long-distance viewing - INCLUDES ESSENTIALS FOR BETTER VIEWING: Celestron Ultima 80 includes an extended tripod mounting plate, a zoom eyepiece with an integrated T-adapter for digiscoping, a carrying case, an eyepiece lens cap, an eyepiece port cover, a soft carrying case, an eyepiece pouch, a lens cloth, and an instruction manual - MULTI-COATED OPTICS: Every lens surface is coated multiple times with anti-reflective coatings to improve the colour and contrast of images and maximize brightness, so you can enjoy brighter and sharper images, even when ambient lighting conditions are dim - SHARP ZOOM EYEPIECE FUNCTION: Our Ultima 80 Spotting Scope features a large focus dial, allowing you to bring your subject into razor-sharp focus before it moves away.

In addition, the increase in size will afford an increase in resolution--lens quality being equal. On the negative side, the 100mm scope is big and heavy which if used for birding can be a real burden. In addition, the large aperture might have a bit more chromatic aberration (blue fringing) than the 80mm. This really bothers some people.If your primary use is birding, I might be inclined to stay with the 80mm scope; it is vastly more portable and lessens the demands of the mount. If it will be used for target shooting where lugging the additional weight around isn't a concern, the 100mm will provide brighter views at extended distances.If money is no object, the Regal 80, which uses low-dispersion glass in the lens, is a great value at the entry price range for HD scopes. The image will be superior in every respect to the 5225x series scopes.Good luck,Southern birder. **Q: Which tripod would you recommend for this telescope. We wish to use the scope for viewing wildlife at our lake home** A: To answer your question better, please think about this. Think about a Celestron 100 MM scope and match that to a Celestron coach's tripod. Goes to a 45 inch. height with V & H adjustment flex rods. The 20 MM increase in light will give you much better viewing. These are quality scopes and you will get years of good service. I have three of these outfits and use them.. **Q: Does Celestron make a hard carrying case for this scope? If yes, what is the model number? Thank you.** A: Celestron does not make a hard case for the scope. I bought a Zeikos HC-36. The scope, with the eyepiece removed, fits perfectly and is well protected. **Q: How well does it performs with a Canon DSLR? Planning to use it for long distance shot, terrestrial and to the moon.** A: The images were unsatisfactory (muddy) for my long distance shots taken with a Canon 7D. The lens has aberrations. It should be ok for moon shots where sharp focus is not a priority. This is a cheap spotting scope not a camera lens. What you see with the naked eye may not be captured on the photo image. You are much better off using a camera lenses for your long distance photographs. I use a 200mm Canon lens and shoot on the highest quality setting for a larger image. This scope is fine for sighting targets at the shooting range or watching ships sail past, but it is not for photography. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great scope, great price. *by J***P on 12 September 2010* For the money this is a very impressive scope.

I love it. . ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for the beginner *by G***E on 27 April 2026* A great entry level scope, ideal for bird watching, particularly sea watching. The optics are decent for a scope at this price and while more experienced birders would want something more high end, it's ideal for me. It's a manageable weight and not too light so it's not as prone to wobbling in a strong wind. The build quality is also good and it feels sturdy. ## Frequently Bought Together - Celestron 52250 Ultima 20-60x80mm Angled Refractor Spotting Scope Telescope with Multi-Coated Optics, Waterproof Rubber Tubing and Soft Carry Case, Green - Vanguard VS-82 Table Top Tripod, Black - GOSKY Smartphone Adapter Mount Regular Size - Compatible with Binoculars, Monoculars, Spotting Scopes, Telescope, Microscopes Fits almost all Smartphones on the Market Record Nature and The World --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/48454894-celestron-52250-ultima-20-60x80mm-angled-refractor-spotting-scope-telescope](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/48454894-celestron-52250-ultima-20-60x80mm-angled-refractor-spotting-scope-telescope) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
