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:
