Amazing you posted this question now. I just purchased and received a pair of Steiner ShadowQuest 8x56 binoculars. Check out " Best Binocular Reviews " They were rated best Hunting binoculars of 2020, however he rated them excellent for Astronomy, general wildlife and even birding. I had clear skies last night and was amazed at what I saw.
Take the time to read the review...the low light performance is something else. They do have the Sport Focus so the close focus is 66'. Got mine from B&H, you might be able to check them out after the store re-opens.
I'm in South Jersey, skies are pretty dark.
