Binocular recommendation for general usage and star gazing

Hi guys

Would like to purchase my first bin that can be used for wildlife viewing (Africa trip soon), backpacking, hiking etc. If it's capable of limited star gazing that would be a bonus (to go with a 8" dob). Based on research I am considering a 8x30 or a 8x42:

Nikon Monarch 7 8x42
Nikon Monarch 7 8x30

Comparison here.

If you guys have any feedback which one to opt for (8x30 vs 8x42) or have any other better quality bin recommendation around/under $750 that would be much appreciated.

Cheers
