Binnoculars

Soon I'm looking to re-invest in a pair of bino's. I had a pair of 30x60
which I brought from a pawn shop for $150.00 but eventually gave
them away. Previous to me owning them they were dropped and
the colimnation suffered. Plus they were so darn heavy it took me
a few months to get used to holding them, and in the end they gave
me a crook neck.

So the intended use will be mainly scanning the sky complementing
the telescope. And on occassions observing when telescope isn't
setup or available. I have no real interest in daytime observing/birding.
I want to put a budget limit of $500.00, around the 10-12x50 size
although I'm open to other sizes. Also lightweight would be a plus.

So anyone using something along these lines or have experience with
something they might like to suggest, I would like to hear about it.
Anyone use the zoom-able types?

Thanks in advance

regards,CS

Rob
