3. Binary. Allows you to name a visible double star or system of 2 stars close to each other. It is an excellent option for couples, relatives, or friends as it presumes two gift sets. Constellation choice comes at an additional cost.

1. Normal: A default brightness option. It will require a telescope to find it in the night sky in most cases.
