What Do You Think Of These Binoculars For Astronomy?
If I do not go for a telescope right now, I’ll get a pair. If none are good, please recommend something to me. I am a novice….

Avoid Galileo…it’s a junk brand. The Celestron SkyMaster and Meade are both a bit on the heavy side for hand holding, which is the best way to use binoculars. The Celestron with light pollution filters is a gimmick, not worth it. The best binoculars for under $100, based on numerous tests, are Orion Scenix:http://www.telescope.com/shopping/produc…
Most serious amateur astronomers prefer the 10×50 size.
most are good, but a telescope is better
10X50, are great if your hand is steady.
You should have a basic binocular 10X or under. Whether or not you have a telescope. Especially with light pollution it helps to learn the sky which you need to use your telescope effectively. The larger 15X70 binoculars are impossible to hold steady and your arms will get tired quickly and be shaking. That makes it hard to see detail. They need to be held steady. Photo tripods with some adapters may be ok for things not too high, but are awkward to see above 45 degrees from the horizon. Neck cramps! At skyandtelescope.com look at the homemade wooden frame to hold binoculars under ‘Do it Yourself’. Between my 5 inch Celestron telescope and my 7×50 inexpensive binoculars, I put more time on the scope, but I go out with the binoculars more frequently. I can see what I will be pointing the telescope at better in the binoculars than the finder. You need to find the objects before you can see them in a telescope. Do get a good but not-too-expensive binoculars first.
Watch these short videos and let the presentation be the tool…you're job is to spread the word:
awesome!
