Hi all,
I am in the market for a pair of binoculars for star gazing. I don't want to have to use a tripod so I'm guessing that something no more than 10 x will do. Can anyone recommend a particular variety that are known to have good contrast and a sharp image across the whole field of view? I've looked at quite a few in shops but of course can only see terrestial objects.

Any comments welcome!

Chris
