Celestron Regal M2 80ED LER 27x80 Spotting Scope (Angled Viewing)

Description

The angled view Regal M2 80ED LER 27x80 Spotting Scope from Celestron combines a high-transmission optical path with a nitrogen-filled magnesium alloy housing to deliver reliable imaging performance at low light and in unforgiving weather conditions. At the core of the Regal M2 are fully multicoated optics, including BaK-4 prisms and an extra low dispersion (ED) glass objective that minimises chromatic aberration and maximises light gathering. Multiple layers of Celestron's XLT coating on each lens preserve brightness and transmit contrast-rich images to the eyepiece.

This version of the Regal M2 LER spotting scope includes a 27x fixed-magnification eyepiece with an impressive 32mm eye relief that is ideal prolonged viewing, such as a day at the range. The scope's standard 1.25" eyepiece mount will accept most astronomical eyepieces, which enables a near-infinite number of optical configurations.

Complementing the image quality and weather-sealed construction of the Regal M2, several features enhance the scope's functionality and observer's user-experience. An included T-adapter ring permits DSLR camera mounting to the objective assembly, transforming the 80ED into a high-transmission digiscoping platform. The rotating tripod collar has a 1/4"-20 mounting socket click-stops at multiple positions to provide the observer with alternate viewing orientations. A sliding sunshade with sighting aid, and dual-focus mechanism equip the Regal M2 LER with the functionality needed for a wide range of outdoor glassing applications.
