As long as they would arrive before the weekend... any idea how long shipping takes from AOE? Their website doesn't say, but I will probably email and ask. Also have to factor in shipping charges (about $16).

These few jump out at me from the AOE website:

AOE 10x50WA....$69.00
AOE 8x56 or AOE 11x56....$99.00
AOE 9x60 or AOE 12x60....$109.00
AOE 7x50HR and AOE 10x50HR....$119.00


Are wide angle useful for astro?


The "HR" models seem to be "high resolution" and those models specifically mention Astronomy.. would they be the pick? (e.g. the 10x50's)
