I almost hate to let the secret out about how good these binocs are.... My opinion is if you are buying binocs for Astronomy and want the best option that you can hand hold the Gemini 11x56 are the way to go... (

.
Our 56mm Lightweights
pull in significantly more light than standard 50mm designs, making them a great choice for amateur astronomy - yet they're still easily used freehand. The Gemini® series are an affordable way to
build memories
under the stars
with family and friends. They're also an excellent choice for long-range hunting, birding, marine and surveillance applications.
The lightweight Gemini LW versions provide the most bang-for-the-buck of any binoculars around. Every Gemini big binocular features prisms polished from high-index BaK4 glass and our best-quality Broadband Multi-Coatings on every air-to-glass surface (including the prisms). It's features like these that make Gemini giant binoculars such a great choice for amateur astronomers, hunters, and birders.
Binoculars excel at deep space observation
-
viewing objects such as star clusters and nebulae
.
Quick looks at solar system objects are also rewarding - Saturn will appear elongated, the moons of Jupiter will be in evidence, and Earth's own moon will reveal intense detail.
At under $100, the 8x56 LW and 11x56 LW models are an excellent choice for affordable hand-held astronomy and long-range observation. The 7mm exit pupil of the 8x56 is best suited to individuals observing under dark skies or low-light terrestrial conditions, while the smaller 5.1mm exit pupil of the 11x56 model provides higher contrast for those with light-polluted skies or brighter terrestrial conditions. Fields of view are 6.0° and 5.8°, respectively. The 56mm diameter objective lenses of both models gather about 25% more light than binoculars with 50mm lenses. Each binocular is covered by our two-year warranty and 30-day return policy.
Every Garrett Optical binocular must pass a rigorous 14-point inspection that insures a high degree of both optical and mechanical performance, including accurate collimation. Any necessary adjustments are performed by a highly experienced technician on a U.S. Navy Mark V Collimator.
