Even an average $60 pair 10X50 binoculars can be good for astronomy (they are nowhere near as sharp at the edges as in the centre of the field). More expensive is better. Just avoid the cheap $20 pairs of Chinese binoculars in cheap stores and Ebay. They are very subaverage and are often out of collimation, which gives you a headache after 10 minutes of use.
