by the way, where is a good place to get good price in binoculars?
my experience in binoculars are these:-
If too big, you will be tired, and it wont be enjoyable.
I don't mind getting small ones
High quality optics with small objective lens is still better than large lens but poor quality.

7x50, 10x50, 8x42 would be good enough.

$400 can get a good 2nd hand scope.

Hi,
Is this pair of Olympus binoculars suitable for astronomy? or is the Nikon a better option?
Olympus 10x40 EXPS I

Nikon Action EX 8x40

Any advise is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
