Own one of the biggest binoculars in production today! With giant 110mm (4.33-inch) objective lenses, the exclusive 21-inch long, 16-pound Signature 20x110 and 28x110 binoculars are our largest and highest-quality instruments.
Imagine how our flagship fixed-power binoculars would look in your living room, standing six to seven feet tall on a heavy-duty tripod or parallelogram mount. The Signature 110's feature precisely-polished lenses and BaK4 prisms that are fully broadband multi-coated to allow superb 99.5% per surface and greater than 92% total light transmission for exceptionally bright and contrasty images of everything from the beautiful view from your deck to the stars, moon, and brighter planets at night. They feature excellent ergonomics and durable rubber-armored all-alluminum construction that will provide each priviledged owner with a lifetime of enjoyment and reliable performance.
The latest version of the popular 20x110 HD-WP, and 28x110 HD-WP models now include recessed threads in the eyepiece assembly, to allow the use of any standard 1.25" nebula or moon filter. This is a great new feature that has the potential to enhance the observing experience.
These binoculars utilize a sophisticated, 5-element ocular design that allows them to acheive better edge-of-field correction than our standard Gemini series products. Each binocular is individually tested and must pass our rigorous 14-point inspection, insuring high degree of both optical and mechanical performance consistency. Collimation adjustments performed by a highly experienced technician on a U.S. Navy Mark V Collimator. The Signature series employ an unusually robust mechanical chassis and very sturdy prism mounts for a giant binocular, which helps to minimize the chance of collimation shifting during normal use. Each binocular is covered by our two-year warranty policy and 30-day return policy.
Whether it's observing the rings of Saturn and Jupiter's moons or bagging objects in a Messier Marathon, the Signature 110's serve up excllent views of solar system and deep sky objects alike. The 20x110 model provides a 5.5mm exit pupil for observers interested in maximizing brightness of extended astronomical objects, such as nebulae and galaxies, or for low-light terrestrial applications. It utilizes eyepieces with long eye relief and a narrower apparent field of view than the 28x model, which allows it to have unusually good field flatness. Its 2.7° true field of view is near-ideal for deep space work. The 28x110 is a great all-around astronomy binocular that has a slightly smaller 2.3° true field of view and an added magnification boost for teasing out more detail in deep space objects. The 110mm models are two of the largest conventional porro prism binoculars on the market today. Both come with a deluxe aluminum-trimmed carrying case. All models also include a free LensPen® optics cleaning device.
