The dovetail bar also has two 1/4" tripod threads - one towards the rear, and one towards the middle, so that it can be balanced accordingly. It works pretty well using a medium weight camera pan head on a tripod. **Q: is this scope as good as the scope nasa used on the shutle. they both have the same model#52291 C5** A: It's technically the same model (C5) but newer generations of Celestron telescopes are bit more cheaply made. On the other hand, the current model is probably 1/4 the price of what the original versions cost. **Q: I see shipping weight is 11 pounds. What is the scope weight outside of packaging etc.?** A: The OTA by itself weighs about 6 lbs. **Q: Does this OTA come with a case?** A: Yes, it comes with a nice soft case with foam inserts for storage for each of the supplied items. ## Frequently Bought Together - Celestron – C5 Angled Spotting Scope – Schmidt-Cassegrain Spotting Scope – Great for Long Range Viewing – 50x Magnification with 25mm Eyepiece – Multi-Coated Optics – Rubber Armored - Celestron – Zoom Eyepiece for Telescope – Versatile 8mm-24mm Zoom for Low Power and High Power Viewing – Works with Any Telescope That Accepts 1.25" Eyepieces - Celestron – Telescope Moon Filter – Eyepiece Accessory – Reduces Moon Glare and Enhances Lunar Crater Details – Great for Full Moon Observing – Works with Any Telescope That Accepts 1.25" Eyepieces --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/522784228-celestron-5-schmidt-cassegrain-spotting-scope](https://www.desertcart.es/products/522784228-celestron-5-schmidt-cassegrain-spotting-scope) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
