The massive 10-pound, 17-inch long Gemini® 25x100 are the ultimate in affordable long-range observing instruments. Available in either center or individual focus to serve the needs of both amateur astronomers and daytime observers. The 25x100 size by far represents the most bang-for-the-buck in the top aperture class.
These are heavy-duty giant astronomy binoculars. Everything about these instruments says "quality." Their attractive rubber armoring and hefty all-metal CNC-machined and cast aluminum construction is guaranteed to last for many years to come. The optical quality measures up to that of the precision mechanics, which makes these excellent instruments for binocular astronomy and wildlife observation. Fully broadband multi-coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces (including the BaK4 porro prisms) ensure bright, high-contrast images while minimizing internal reflections.
The IF version utilizes smooth, CNC-machined individual focusers that provide the precision focusing essential for maxium performance on astronomical targets. A new feature on the IF version is the integration filter threads into the eyepiece assembly, to allow the use of any standard 1.25" nebula or moon filter. This is a great new feature for amateur astronomers that has the potential to enhance the observing experience. The 25x100 IF is also available without filter threads.
The CF version uses a high-quality conventional center focus arrangement with twist-up eyecups and a right diopter, for those who plan to use their binoculars for terrestrial as well as astronomical observation.
Eyeglass wearers will appreciate the generous eye relief on both models. Collimation can be adjusted by experienced users, if necessary. Every Garrett Optical 25x100 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. Each 25x100 astronomy binocular is covered by our two-year warranty and 30-day return policy.
An added perk is that every Gemini Waterproof astronomy binocular comes with a deluxe heavy-duty carrying case with durable PVC armoring and aluminum trim. The cases are lined with soft, "egg-crate"-style foam for maximum protection.
The 25x100 WP binoculars are the ultimate long-range observing instruments for stargazing or daytime use. Their huge 100mm (four-inch) objective lenses and strong magnification give them a performance boost that simply can’t be matched by lesser instruments. At night, these binoculars excel at deep space observation - nebulae, galaxies, and globular or open clusters will all reveal detail you never expected to see in a binocular. If you can make it to dark skies, you'll be amazed by their performance. The 25x magnification makes them decent for solar system observing as well, whether it's glimpsing the rings of Saturn and watching Jupiter's moons, or simply observing our own moon. Keep in mind that the size of these 25x100 binoculars and the resulting 10-pound weight will require a hefty mount, though the awe-inspiring performance will be worth it.
