Celestron Hummingbird 56mm Angled Spotting Scope

About Celestron
Celestron is a well-known American company specializing in the manufacturing of telescopes, binoculars, spotting scopes, and other optical instruments for astronomy and outdoor observation. The company was founded in 1960 by Tom Johnson, who had a passion for amateur astronomy and a vision to make quality telescopes accessible to enthusiasts and professionals alike.

Celestron initially gained recognition for its revolutionary Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes (SCTs), which combined the compactness of a refractor with the versatility of a reflector. The SCT design allowed for powerful magnification while maintaining a relatively portable and user-friendly form factor. This innovation made Celestron telescopes popular among amateur astronomers and propelled the company to the forefront of the industry.

Thank you for purchasing a Celestron HummingbirdTM ED micro spotting scope. We trust that this spotting scope will provide you with years of enjoyment and faithful service. Please read the instructions carefully before using your spotting scope to ensure proper use and care.

NOMENCLATURE

USE

The Celestron HummingbirdTM ED micro spotting scope can be used hand-held, or mounted on a tripod, monopod, window mount, or other stabilizing aid.

TRIPOD, MONOPOD, WINDOW MOUNT, ETC. MOUNTING

To attach the spotting scope to a stabilizing aid, simply attach the device’s (or device mounting plate’s) ½-20 thread mounting bolt to the spotting scope’s ½-20 thread tripod mount.

USE WITH OR WITHOUT EYEGLASSES

• The eyepiece included with the Celestron HummingbirdTM ED micro spotting scope, provides plenty of eye relief for use with or without eyeglasses.
• For use while wearing eyeglasses, leave the twist-up eyecup in the lowered position.
• For use while not wearing eyeglasses, twist the twist-up eyecup into the extended position.

FOCUSING

• To ensure a crisp, sharp image, the spotting scope must be focused. To focus the spotting scope, slowly rotate the focus dial until the image in the eyepiece is clear and sharp.
• If you feel that the focus dial will not rotate any further, you have reached the end of its travel and need to turn the dial in the opposite direction.

CHANGING THE MAGNIFICATION

• To change the magnification of the zoom eyepiece, simply rotate the magnification dial in the clockwise direction to increase the magnification and counterclockwise to decrease the magnification.
• When changing magnification the scope will need to be refocused.
• The largest field of view and brightest images will always be at the lowest magnification.

CARE AND STORAGE

Your Celestron spotting scope will provide you with years of dependable service if it is cared for and stored properly.

1. Protect the spotting scope from impact and do not force any of the moving parts beyond their limits.
2. Protect the optics of your spotting scope by putting on all lens caps when not in use.
3. Store your spotting scope in a cool, dry place whenever possible.
4. When storing for an extended period of time, place the spotting scope in a plastic bag or airtight container with a desiccant.
5. Do not leave the spotting scope in a car on a hot/sunny day or near anything that generates heat as this may cause damage.
6. Clean any dust, dirt, or water that may get on the spotting scope or inside moving parts as soon as possible to prevent any unforeseen damage.

CLEANING

Proper cleaning of the lenses is essential to maintaining the optical integrity of your spotting scope. Dirty lenses diminish the amount of light transmitted through the spotting scope and your overall viewing experience.

1. Remove any dust on the lenses with a soft lens brush or a can of pressurized air.
2. Remove any fingerprints, stains, or smudges from the lens surface with a soft, clean lens cloth or lens tissue by rubbing in a circular motion. Start in the middle of the lens and work your way to the edges. Breathe lightly on the lens to provide moisture if needed.
3. For a more thorough cleaning, we recommend the use of a lens/optics cleaning kit available at most photo or optical shops. Follow the directions supplied with the cleaning kit for best results.
