WARNING

Never look at the Sun while using your spotting scope.

Looking at the Sun can cause permanent eye damage.

BEFORE UsE

Attach your spotting scope to a sturdy tripod before viewing

as the size and power of the spotting scope requires a solid

tripod for stability to achieve clear, sharp images (Fig. 2).

AttAching thE EyEpiEcE

A zoom eyepiece is included with the Regal M2 spotting

scope. To attach the eyepiece to the spotting scope, turn

the eyepiece lock collar counterclockwise until it is loose

and remove the eyepiece mount cover. Make sure that the

protective lens cap is removed from the eyepiece and slide

it into the eyepiece mount (Fig. 3a). When the eyepiece

is fully seated turn the lock collar clockwise to secure the

eyepiece and hold it in place (Fig 3b). Do not attempt to

attach or remove the eyepiece without ﬁrst loosening the

lock collar as it can cause damage to the eyepiece and/or

the spotting scope.

EyEcUp AdjUstmEnt

The included zoom eyepiece of the Regal M2 features a

twist-up eyecup to accommodate both eyeglass and non-

eyeglass wearers (Fig. 4). If you do not wear eyeglasses,

twist the eyecup counterclockwise until it reaches the up

position. If you wear eyeglasses, make sure that the eyecup

is in the down position to obtain the maximum ﬁeld of

view. The eyecup can be set at positions between fully up

and down which may suit some users better.

chAnging thE mAgniFicAtiOn

To change the magniﬁcation of the zoom eyepiece simply

rotate the eyepiece in the counterclockwise direction to

increase the magniﬁcation and clockwise to decrease

the magniﬁcation (Fig 5). 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.

FOcUsing

To ensure a crisp, sharp image the spotting scope must be

focused. The Regal M2 features a dual focus system that

includes a course and a ﬁne focus (Fig. 6). To focus the

spotting scope, slowly rotate the course focus knob until

the image in the eyepiece is clear and sharp. For ﬁne

adjustment slowly rotate the ﬁne focus knob (located

in front of the course focus knob) until the image in the

eyepiece is clear and sharp. When the focus knob will not

rotate any further, turn the wheel in the opposite direction.

ROtAting tRipOd mOUnt

The Regal M2 features a rotating tripod mount that rotates

a full 360° and allows the eyepiece to be set in any viewing

position. To change the position of the eyepiece, loosen

the lock screw located on the tripod mount and turn the

scope to the desired position (Fig 7a, 7b). Tighten the lock

screw and view through the eyepiece.

lEns shAdE And sighting gUidE

The lens shade of the Regal M2 will slide away from the

body to protect the lens from exposure to rain or to keep

unwanted glare from entering the spotting scope and

degrading your image. A sighting guide is molded into

the lens shade rubber to aid in locating your subject and

bringing it into the ﬁeld of view (Fig. 8). The location of the

sighting guide can be changed by simply rotating the lens

shade.

OptiOnAl EyEpiEcEs

The Regal M2 Series spotting scopes were designed to use optional 1.25” eyepieces. Celestron offers a wide

selection of 1.25” eyepieces for use on your spotting scope to achieve higher magniﬁcations, wider ﬁelds of

view, etc.

BAlAncE plAtE (FOR thE 100 mm mOdEl)

The Regal M2 100 mm spotting scope comes with a

balance plate to properly balance the spotting scope

when attached to a tripod (Fig. 9). To use the balance

plate, mount it to the tripod’s ¼”-20 mounting screw

using the ¼”-20 threaded hole located on the bottom of

the plate. Attach the spotting scope to the balance plate

using the ¼”-20 mounting screw located on the top of

the plate and thread it into the spotting scope as far

as it will go. Slide the spotting scope along the slotted

portion of the plate until the spotting scope is balanced

on the tripod. Tighten the locking ring to hold the

spotting scope in the desired position.

digiscOping

The Regal M2 spotting scopes can be used for digiscoping with SLR cameras and point-and-shoot digital

cameras. Please note that not all cameras are compatible for digiscoping and in some cameras vignetting

(a circular image surrounded by black) will occur. Point-and-shoot cameras with an optical zoom of 3x or 4x

tend to be the most compatible with the least amount of vignetting. Most photographs will be the sharpest

and brightest when using the lowest magniﬁcation on the zoom eyepiece.

slR phOtOgRAphy

To use an SLR camera and your spotting scope for photography,

you will shoot through the zoom eyepiece while it is attached to

the spotting scope. To prevent damage to the spotting scope,

eyepiece or camera make sure the eyepiece lock collar is secure

during each stage of the setup.

1. Remove the eyecup from the zoom eyepiece. With the

eyecup down, rotate it counterclockwise to remove it

from the eyepiece. This will expose the threads under

the eyecup (Fig. 10a).

2. Thread the included T-adapter ring to the threads

exposed on the eyepiece in step one above (Fig. 10b).

3. Thread an optional T-ring for your make and model of

camera onto the T-adapter ring (Fig. 10c)

4. Attach your SLR camera body to the T-ring (Fig. 10d).

The Regal M2 spotting scopes have ﬁxed apertures and as a

result ﬁxed f/ratios. To achieve the proper exposure for your

photographs you need to set the shutter speed accordingly.

Most cameras offer through-the-lens metering which will let

you know if your picture is under or overexposed. Consult your

camera manual for speciﬁc information on metering, changing

shutter speeds and other settings.

pOint-And-shOOt phOtOgRAphy

A variety of point-and-shoot cameras can be used to

digiscope with the Regal M2 spotting scopes utilizing the

Universal Camera Adapter (#93626) offered by Celestron

(Fig. 11). This adapter attaches to the spotting scope’s

eyepiece and allows the camera lens to be centered

behind the eyepiece. Please note that not all cameras

are compatible with this adapter as there is not enough

adjustment to center the lens behind the eyepiece when

the position of the lens is low in the camera body or when

the camera does not have adequate height.

WAtERpROOF / FOgpROOF

The Regal M2 Series spotting scopes are waterproof and ﬁlled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent the housing

from fogging internally.

cARE And stORAgE

Your Celestron spotting scope will provide you 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.

Fig. 11

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 lens cleaning 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 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.

sERvicE And REpAiR
