The Acuter 15x70 I mentioned earlier in the thread, felt like they were about the same weight as my WW II Zeiss 10x50, when I was trying out the Acuter in store last year.
It's a weight I've become used to managing hand held. My Zeiss weigh 953g, and their leather case itself is 951g, so they're not lightweight.

Nikon Action EX 10x50 and find them to to be an excellent compromise for astro use in terms of weight, magnification and optical quality. They have long eye relief and an unusually wide field of view for a 10x magnification (6 degrees).

Like so many centre focus binoculars, those Nikon have a diopter adjust on only one eyepiece.
If, like me, your eyes have a large difference in glasses lens prescriptions, diopter adjust on only one eyepiece doesn't cut it.
You need either separate eyepiece focus, or diopter adjust on both eyepieces with centre focus.
