Question by toveysnake: Is the oberwerk 11x56 a good astronomy binocular for use without a tripod?
do you have any recamendations for astronomical binocs under 160$
would the 10x50 model be good? And by the way all oberwerk binoculars are fully multi coated

No. The binocular is fine, but for most people 8X is about the highest power to hold by hand. If you are steady you could try up to 10X but even then you would have to hold it agains something steady. With 11X it would be very hard to hold them steady enough to really see something.
