The Celestron Hummingbird 9-27x56mm ED Micro Spotting Scope is an ultra-compact, travel-ready optic designed for birders, hikers, and outdoor explorers who need powerful magnification in a lightweight package. With ED glass optics, a 9–27x zoom range, and a close focus of just 10 feet, it delivers bright, sharp images in a design small enough to fit in a pocket or travel bag.

Bright, Sharp ED Optics

The ED glass lens system provides excellent colour correction and edge-to-edge clarity. Unlike standard optics, it reduces chromatic aberration and delivers sharper, brighter images, especially in low-light conditions—perfect for birding at dawn or dusk.

Compact and Travel-Friendly

Weighing just 20.8 oz (590 g) and measuring 8.2” in length, the Hummingbird is one of the most portable spotting scopes available. It slips easily into a vest pocket, small shoulder bag, or carry-on luggage, making it the perfect travel companion for outdoor adventures.

Flexible Magnification

The 9–27x zoom eyepiece offers the wide view of binoculars at low power and the detail of a spotting scope at higher magnification. Combined with its close focus of just 10 ft, it’s ideal for birders who need to observe subjects both near and far.

What happens if I don't like it?

We always want you to be happy with your purchase — so if you’re unsure, please ask us first. We’re always happy to give honest advice before you buy.

If the product arrives and you simply decide it isn’t for you, you can usually return it within the cooling-off period — as long as it’s unused, in perfect condition, and returned with all original packaging and accessories.

Because telescopes and optical equipment are large, delicate and expensive to ship, you’ll need to cover the cost of sending it back, and if we originally subsidised delivery, we may deduct our outbound shipping costs from your refund.

We’re a small specialist business, and unnecessary returns genuinely hurt us — so if you’re unsure at all, please talk to us first. We’d rather help you choose the right item than process a return.

How fast is shipping?

We aim to ship in-stock items as quickly as possible.

  • Most in-stock orders dispatch within 1–2 working days
  • Delivery usually takes 1–3 working days after dispatch (UK mainland)
  • Heavier / oversized items and special orders may take a little longer

You’ll receive tracking details as soon as your order is on its way.

Astronomy equipment often requires specialist packing and trusted couriers — we do this to keep your gear safe, not to slow things down. If you need something urgently, just ask and we’ll do our best.
