Trailseeker 100 Spotting Scope

The new Celestron TrailSeeker spotting scope offers excellent optics and many features known from higher-end models. A micro-focuser near the focusing knob allows for precise focusing. The spotting scope also has an extendable sunshade that significantly improves the contrast of images observed in bright light. The tripod mount of the TrailSeeker spotting scope is designed to allow the scope to rotate within the mount around its own axis without needing to reposition the tripod. However, the most interesting feature is the interchangeable eyepieces – a vast array of high-quality, fixed-focal-length astronomical eyepieces with a 1.25-inch mounting standard opens up to the user of the TrailSeeker.

It is worth using good optics with the new Celestron TrailSeeker spotting scope. It features excellent lenses and prisms fully coated with XLT layers, to ensure the highest light transmission and unparalleled contrast in this price segment. The spotting scope is filled with dry nitrogen, so it does not fog up internally and is completely resistant to harsh weather conditions.

The spotting scope with a 100mm objective lens has a very high light-gathering capability, meaning that even in the evening and at night, the images seen through it will be decidedly the brightest of all models in the series. This type of spotting scope is also perfectly suited for sky observation. Its rather large dimensions mean that it is always worth using photographic tripods with it, especially since the magnification here is as high as 22 to 67x.

The angled version of the spotting scope has an eyepiece directed at a 45-degree angle to the scope's axis, making it excellent for observations from a tripod, as well as for observing objects located on the horizon (e.g., a ship at sea) or above it, such as mountains, office building windows, or astronomical objects.
