Celestron Hummingbird 9-27x56mm Angled Zoom Micro Spotting Scope

The Celestron Hummingbird 9-27x56mm Angled Micro Spotting Scope is the world’s first truly portable “micro” scope. Designed for travellers, birders, and nature enthusiasts, it delivers the power of a spotting scope with the size and weight of a compact binocular. With fully multi-coated optics, a 9–27x zoom range, and a close focus of just 10 feet, it’s the perfect companion for any outdoor adventure.

Key Features

  • Ultra-Compact Design – fits in a pocket, shoulder bag, or carry-on luggage

  • 9–27x Zoom Magnification – versatile range spanning binoculars and spotting scopes

  • 56mm Objective Lens – gathers ample light for bright, detailed views

  • Carrying Case Included – padded nylon case with belt and shoulder straps

Compact, Travel-Ready Performance

The Hummingbird 9-27x56 redefines portability in spotting scopes. Small enough to use handheld at lower magnifications, it also replaces the need to carry both binoculars and a full-size spotting scope. Its angled eyepiece design makes it comfortable to use for extended birdwatching or nature observation sessions.

Bright, Sharp Optics

Despite its small size, the Hummingbird features fully multi-coated lenses and phase-coated BaK4 prisms, ensuring vivid colours, sharp resolution, and excellent contrast. Whether you’re observing birds in flight or examining wildlife up close, you’ll enjoy bright, clear images in all conditions.

Rugged and Weatherproof

Built with a durable waterproof body and nitrogen filling, the Hummingbird is ready for any environment. From humid rainforests to breezy coastlines, it resists fogging and stands up to the rigours of travel and field use.

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.
