Hi Stu,
I would not recommend the 10x42 for primary Astronomy,the fov is as claimed about 6 deg,they are roof prism,and I think you would be a lot better off with Porro prism for Astronomy.
As I said in my review,I got them mainly for daytime use,and as a backup for Astronomy.
I would suggest a pair of 8x40,they often have a 8.5 deg fov,and are fairly lightweight.
I am impressed with the 10x42s there is a tiny little bit of flaring on stars about the magnitude of Vega,for eg.but overall I still think Porro prism is a better bet for Astronomy.
Regards.John
