I am a big fan of my Vixen S6.5X32WP astronomy binoculars.
They were designed from the ground up for astronomy use. They have one ED element in the objective and have dedicated astronomical telescope coatings, not the usual coatings designed for daytime terrestrial use. They have a 9 degree true field of view. The FOV is aberration free right to the edge of the field and no chromatic aberrations that I can pick up. They have very accurate individual eyepiece focusing.
They are ideal for broader scanning of constellations etc. They are easily held steady for long periods.
They have 20mm eye relief and are the only binoculars that I have found that allow me to wear glasses comfortably with the eyepiece caps retracted.
The views are noticeably brighter than my Nikon Action 7X50 binoculars.
I always have then on hand when visual observing, and even EAA observing, to give me context to the observations
