Spotting Scope Celestron Regal M2 80ED 60x BaK-4 Black Green

The Celestron Regal M2 80ED spotting scope in Black Green is a compact, high-performance optic designed for birdwatching, nature observation and long-distance viewing. Featuring 60x maximum magnification and BaK-4 prisms, this model combines Extra Low Dispersion (ED) glass and a lightweight magnesium-alloy body to deliver clear, high-contrast images while remaining portable. The Regal M2 80ED includes a dual-focus mechanism for quicker focusing, is fully waterproof and nitrogen-purged to prevent internal fogging, and is supplied with a carrying case for transport.

Advantages

The Regal M2 80ED uses ED glass and BaK-4 prisms to reduce chromatic aberration and improve image sharpness and contrast. Its magnesium-alloy construction lowers overall weight compared with previous models while preserving mechanical strength. The upgraded dual-focus mechanism provides faster, more precise focusing. The unit is waterproof and nitrogen-purged to resist moisture and internal fogging during outdoor use. A dedicated T-adapter interface allows camera attachment for digiscoping when used with a compatible T-Ring.

How to use

Mount the spotting scope on a suitable tripod for stable viewing. Use the dual-focus mechanism to bring subjects into sharp focus quickly, starting with coarse focus and finishing with fine focus adjustments. For photography, attach a compatible camera T-Ring to your camera and connect it to the spotting scope using the included T-adapter; adjust focus and exposure on the camera as needed. Store the scope in the supplied carrying case when transporting and avoid leaving the instrument exposed to prolonged heavy rain without protection despite its waterproof construction.

Usage recommendations

Use a sturdy tripod to fully exploit the 60x magnification and minimize image shake. Allow the scope to acclimate to outdoor temperatures before precision focusing for best optical performance. When digiscoping, secure the camera connection and check alignment to avoid vignetting; use gentle cleaning methods and appropriate lens cloths for optics maintenance.
