Celestron Ultima 65 Overview

Celestron manufactures the Ultima line of prismatic spotting scopes in 65mm, 80mm, and 100mm varietals to suit your needs. The larger two can also be had with extra-low dispersion (ED) glass elements, an expensive product that produces a marked improvement in the color fidelity, resolution, and edge delineation of the scope's imagery. All the Ultima line are mated to an eyepiece and render views that are both rightside up and laterally correct to the world, making them good for both terrestrial and celestial observing. All Ultimas are waterproof, making them more robust than ever before. Celestron surely is delivering exceptional value.

The Ultimas now offer the choice between 45° angled viewing or straight viewing as you prefer. Most users will prefer angled scopes because they are both simple to use for birds perched high above the viewer as well as easily simultaneously shared among users of differing heights. But some will prefer the straight-through viewing models, for these are much easier to use when hunting down the object of interest in the first place. Straight-viewing models are also usually a bit lighter, brighter, and less expensive. The choice is yours.

Certain Celestron products include their wonderful "No Fault" warranty coverage, which assures that your binoculars will be repaired or replaced at Celestron's option for as long as you own them—no questions asked! The only requirements on the user's end are to ship the binoculars (at the user's cost) to Celestron with a proof of purchase and a check or money order for $25 to cover the costs of inspection, shipping, and handling. This warranty service is valid only for USA and Candadian citizens purchasing from an authorized Celestron dealer.

Built-In T-Mount Threading for SLR Shooting
The Celestron Ultima series feature a T-mount threading upon the eyepiece barrel, allowing your scope to act as an ultratelephoto lens upon your SLR camera (digital or film) with just the addition of a camera-specific T-mount adapter.

Celestron Ultima 65 Reviews

My first such scope; very happy with it

By Walter

Im using it as a terrestrial telescope rather than for shooting. Nice and clear, although the image suffers a little at full zoom in low light. The zoom is quite good; you can very easily read car licence plates from a kilometer away. The focus and zoom rings work as you would expect and the eye piece is comfortable enough. I like the angled view finder; this works well for my application and would also benefit if you were using it to sky watch. The included bag is also a nice bonus. My biggest recommendation though would be to invest in a very good tripod; make sure the head of the tripod has no play and is smooth in its operation - the slightest bump introduces huge shake with such large magnifications but that applies to any high powered scope and is no reflection on this unit. Im very impressed with this scope and already a friend has made the decision to purchase the same model after using mine.

Celestron 65 Spotting Scope

I bought this for spotting paper targets at 100 yards at the shooting range. I didn't want to spend much, and this scope fulfills this need and is a great value. 5.56 holes are very visible at 100 yards. At 200 yeards, you can see holes left on a Shoot-N-See target fine also, but not on a regular paper target. Many expensive spotters don't do well at 200 yards, but the reason for the purpose is for 100 yard targets. This scope is great at that and very affordable.
