most of the celestron binoculars are over-priced [esp. in Australia]
do you know what size you are looking at, ie handheld? i really like the 15x70 size for astro, 20x80 & 25x100 need expensive tripods & heads to keep them steady. post the size & ill recommend some models

expesnive models have sharper eyepieces at the edge, have better illumination, have larger or better prisms, better coatings, are more reisstant to mis-collimation,cheap binos often clip the fll aperute, eg 100mm binos only equate to 92mm due to some light clipping

Sometimes a cheap bino can give great images, & perform at 95% for 25% the cost
