I'm planning on purchasing a telescope a little bit later (an Orion SkyQuest XT4.5, 6, or possible 8) but I've heard that for beginners binoculars are a good resource to have along with your telescope. Most people say to use 7x50 or 10x50 and I've found 2 but I don't know if they're worth it (because they're cheap, I really don't want to pay too much for binos) and if they're really astronomical worthy. What tells you the difference between regular binos and astronomical ones? Is it just the #x#? Here are the two I'm looking at:

Thank you!
