Hi all.. Have read the recent posts on binoculars and have decided that they are more confusing than telescopes! I've decided to go to the local Ted's camera store near me and just get a 'reasonable' beginner's pair for around the $100 mark. I know, a pittance but hey.. they'll probably be used by my 6 and 10 y.o!
Jumping onto the Ted's website I see these
Bushmaster 20x60WA
*On Special
Was : $199.95
Now : $99.95

Would these be a good buy given my criteria? I've found even my cheap 'sports' binos are great to have in conjunction with the dob, so I'm guessing I'll be happy with something like these.
Going to S.A this weekend so I'm a little rushed, but if anyone has any better options or stores (Melbourne SE suburbs) please let me know
Can't take the dob, and would hate to miss any clear nights!
Thanks in advance.
Edit: I guess the WA in the model number means wide angle.. is this more or less appealing for astro usage?
