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 Review: good value scope. - this is a superb scope for the money.the image quality is good even at 66times mag. with virtually no chromatic aberration except for a slight blue tinge to backlit objects.if money is no object then buy a swarovski. if you want real value for money buy this scope.you will need a robust tripod though..... my lightweight tripod wasn`t up to the job. Review: Good for the beginner - 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. ## Features - ULTIMA ANGLED SPOTTING SCOPE: The outdoor enthusiast’s choice is our great all-around spotting scope with an 100mm objective lens and a 45° viewing angle; Perfect for observing nature and long-distance viewing - INCLUDES ESSENTIALS FOR BETTER VIEWING: Extended tripod mounting plate, zoom eyepiece with integrated T-adapter for digiscoping, carrying case, eyepiece lens cap, eyepiece port cover, eyepiece pouch, lens cloth, and instruction manual - MULTI-COATED OPTICS: Every lens surface is coated multiple times with anti-reflective coatings to improve colour and contrast while maximizing brightness, so you can enjoy brighter and sharper images, even when ambient lighting conditions are dim - SHARP ZOOM EYEPIECE FUNCTION: Ultima's large focus dial allows you to bring your subject into razor-sharp focus before it moves away; The included 22-66x zoom eyepiece helps you zero in for detailed views of distant subjects in seconds - UNBEATABLE WARRANTY AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT: Buy with confidence from a leading telescope brand, based in California since 1960; You’ll also receive a two-year warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002862UW | | Best Sellers Rank | 23,165 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 14 in Spotting Scopes | | Box Contents | Carrying case, Extend plate, Eyepiece Port cover, Eyepiece carrying case, Eyepiece lens cap, Eyepiece pouch, Instrument manual, Lens cloth, Zoom eye piece with integrated T-adapter | | Brand | Celestron | | Brand Name | Celestron | | Coating | Multi-Coated | | Compatible Devices | Camera | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 479 Reviews | | Exit Pupil Diameter | 1.52 Millimeters | | Eye Piece Lens Description | 22-66x zoom | | Eye piece lens description | 22-66x zoom | | Field Of View | 45 Degrees | | Finderscope | optical | | Focal Length Description | 100 millimeters | | Focus Type | Manual Focus | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00050234522526 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 55.9D x 17.8W x 17.8H centimetres | | Item Weight | 4.5 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Celestron | | Manufacturer Part Number | 52252-CGL | | Model Name | Ultima 22-66x100mm | | Model Number | 52252-CGL | | Model name | Ultima 22-66x100mm | | Mount | Equatorial Mount | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Objective Lens Diameter | 100 Millimetres | | Objective lens diameter | 100 Millimetres | | Optical tube length | 100 Millimetres | | Optical-Tube Length | 100 Millimetres | | Power Source | internal battery | | Product Features | fogproof, full-size, uv-protection, waterproof, zoom | | Telescope mount description | Equatorial Mount | | UPC | 050234522526 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Zoom Ratio | 22:66 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Celestron - **Eye piece lens description:** 22-66x zoom - **Finderscope:** optical - **Focus type:** Manual Focus - **Model name:** Ultima 22-66x100mm - **Objective lens diameter:** 100 Millimetres - **Optical tube length:** 100 Millimetres - **Power source:** internal battery - **Product dimensions:** 55.9D x 17.8W x 17.8H centimetres - **Telescope mount description:** Equatorial Mount ## Images ![52252 100 mm Ultima Spotting Scope 45 Degrees, Grey - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51cj0DdFzoL.jpg) ![52252 100 mm Ultima Spotting Scope 45 Degrees, Grey - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31q5glxEhKL.jpg) ![52252 100 mm Ultima Spotting Scope 45 Degrees, Grey - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/21b7lDihU7L.jpg) ![52252 100 mm Ultima Spotting Scope 45 Degrees, Grey - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31zWIEa+KHL.jpg) ![52252 100 mm Ultima Spotting Scope 45 Degrees, Grey - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31kFGapr6mL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I have just bought the Celestron Ultima 100 - Could owners of this scope please recommend a Tripod to use with it.** A: I use my Celestron for birdwatching so I find the Velbon C-600 manages the weight of the telescope well and it is sturdily built.

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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for star/planet gazing. *by R***G on 23 December 2021* Really good optical instrument. Bought for taking pictures of the Moon and Planets. Initial results are good, pictures showing Jupiter and some of the moons. (Jupiter was low down and quite faint). And a close up of the Moon and craters. Should get better results on a clearer starry night, so work in progress.
