Featuring premium optical components for clarity, contrast, and true color, the Explore Scientific 8x56 ED Binoculars G600from Explore Scientific show you the details when birding, hiking, sightseeing, or engaging in other outdoor adventures. Large 56mm objective lenses gather ample light for a bright image even in lower-light conditions such as dawn, dusk, or deep shade, while the 8x magnification makes distant subjects seem like they're right in front of you. The extra-low dispersion lenses bear multiple layers of antireflective coating and the BAK4 roof prisms have dielectric coatings for brightness and phase-correcting coatings for color fidelity.

Finding your subject is easy thanks to the 335 field of view. Twist-up eyecups and the 19.3mm eye relief makes the full field available to all users, whether or not they wear eyeglasses. The G600 ED series binoculars are waterproof and nitrogen-filled to prevent fogging. They have a socket for an optional tripod adapter and come with a case, strap, lens covers, and a cleaning cloth.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I purchased this scope a few weeks ago. I have yet to achieve focus using a dslr without the diagonal. I've purchased 2" extension tubes that just dont fit on the tubes that came with it. What extention tubes actually fit on this?

A: What make and model of camera are you using and where in the scope are you mounting the camera

Q: 2. What do I need to purchase along with this product to connect my Canon 60D for astrophotography ?

A: First you would need a T-Adapter that goes into the eyepiece part of the scope. The Celestron-SLR (35mm OR Digital) Camera Adapter would work great. Wesbite Link to the T-Adapter: a href= http://bhpho.to/1lwAhIO target= _blank http://bhpho.to/1lwAhIO/aNow to mount your Canon 60D you would need what is called a T-Ring, which threads onto the T-Adapter. The Vello Lens Mount Adapter-T-Mount Lens to Canon EOS Camera will be perfect. Website link to the T-Ring: a href= http://bhpho.to/19wYgWY target= _blank http://bhpho.to/19wYgWY/aThese are the 2 adapters you would need to attach your camera to this scope.

Q: 3. Can you use this with a cannon dslr camera and do you need a t mount

A: Yes but you will need a t mount. Might also want to get their field flattener.

Q: 4. Hi, I would like to know The dimensions of the tube, the Ota, how long is the tube, please?

A: The OTA is 24.25 inches in length. 4.38 inches in diameter and weighs approximately 5.60 lbs.

Q: 5. What parts do I need to mount my Nikon Z mirrorless to this scope?

Q: 6. Is a field flattner recommended with this refractor?

A: a field flattener is not necessary for visual use, but one can be used to improve image quality when using large image sensors for photography

Q: 7. I have a 114 mm telescope I know this would probably be too big do you have a recommendation anything close would be good.

A: 114mm = 4.48819 inches. The closest size rings B&H would carry would be the Tele Vue Mount Ring Set for 4" OTAs BH #TEMTS4Q • MFR #MRS-4011 or the Vixen Optics Tube Rings with 115mm Inner Diameter (Pair) BH #VITRW115 • MFR #ES2665

Q: 8. The image from the telescope is upside down and backwards. How do I fix this?

A: You would just need to add a 90 Degree Star Diagonal. The Celestron 90° Star Diagonal (1.25") will work. Link: https://bhpho.to/3t4ZEMK

Q: 9. Will this [safely] fit a 130mm (5.1") reflector?

A: This is made for 127mm Telescopes I do not believe this will work with a 130mm Scope. My apologies.

A: A ccording to the Minox manual for the Minox 8x56 X-HD Binoculars BH #MI8X56XHDB • MFR #10023 the rye relief is 20mm. https://cache.tradeinn.com/images/pdf/manuales/eng_minox_manu_xhd_series.pdf

[56 mm] I purchased this coma corrector after reading online reviewer's recommendations. I'm using it on a 8" f/3.9 imaging Newtonian and after getting the spacing correct I have pinpoint stars across the field. I would recommend this corrector for anyone imaging with a fast scope, you will not be disappointed.

[7 mm] I bought one of the 8x42 models and just recently the 8x56....they are wonderful instruments for the price and the Zeiss guarantee is exceptional, too. I have some more expensive Leica and Swarovski binoculars around and they are excellent, but unless you want to spend $2k more, buy a Conquest HD model, you won't be sorry.

[8x] I have been a long time customer of Vortex optics. I was looking for a good pair of low light binoculars so I started looking for 56mm objective lens pairs. Vortex used to make the Vulture's in 8x56 but since discontinued them. I started shopping for other brands and came across this pair. The price was in my budget, and the fact that it was a German based company I thought would be a positive to so I took a chance on them. Let me tell you, these binoculars are nothing short of awesome. Everything is top notch, from the packaging they come in to the carrying case, neck strap and optics themselves. I can be very picky when it comes to purchases (especially at this price point) and I can't find one thing to complain about. I get on the deer stand with these 2 hours before day break with just moon light and I can see my feeder and movement in fields clearly. They are 56mm objective lens so naturally they are a little bulkier and heavier than say a 42mm binocular but well worth the extra size and weight for me. I love them, I gave my old Vortex to my kids because after using these I don't want to use anything else. I highly recommend them. I attached an un-boxing video in case it might help.

[Center] This is the first review I've ever done for a pair of Binoculars and I've owned plenty. About 20 years ago I purchased a pair of Nikons, upgraded to some HGs a few years later, Zeiss Conquest and finally to a pair of Swarovski SLCs. For low light conditions these work the best. All the others are 8x42 and these are 56 and from what I've read and seen first hand this was GPOs objective with the Passion ED 8x56. I did a ton of research before buying and could talk about the exit pupil and GPOs lens coating but you can all do that yourself at home. What I can tell you is that holding all the pre mentioned binoculars to my face in low light conditions these are the clear winner. My mission was to seek out the best low light binoculars that also match up well in the other main categories. These are it! They really impressed me in every way. Through my research I heard the president of GPO say their objective was to build a binocular to compete with high end European brands at a better price point through a scaled down corporate model and they did it!. $799 for GPO Passion EDs 8x56 that beat Nikon HG, Zeiss Conquest and Swarovski SLCs head to in low light conditions and it's not a contest. The build quality and operation is as good as the others and as far as what you see through the lenses I can't distinguish a much of a difference that would be relevant in any real world application. My only complaint is they are kind of big and heavy. They don't fit in the custom harness I Cary all my other 8x42 binoculars in. With all that being said these with out a doubt the best value of all my binoculars and will be my #1 choice when I go bow hunting here in PA in a couple of months.

[56 mm] This pair of binoculars is phenomenal. I purchased them to maximize my low light viewing for hunting, fishing, and bird watching and they have exceeded my expectations. My deer hunting does not involve super long distances so the 8X magnification is perfect. The binoculars are also amazing in bright light. You will not be disappointed for whatever use you can imagine for them.
