Thanks for the quick response. I do have a tripod but I do like a quick 'grab and look' with binos..

I've also seen these listed at Bintel

Gerber Sport 07x50
$129.00
Gerber Sport 08x40
$109.00
Gerber Sport 10x50
$129.00

Would these be suitable for astro work (bit concerned about the 'sport' tag, and also Bintel pricing...)

Is 40mm a 'minimum' aperture for astro usage with binocs?

Thanks.
