Less then a year ago I purchased a Vixen Foresta 7x50 from My Astro Shop. It was $285. It is a great bino for hand held use and the optical quality is very good for the price. It is light in weight, has long eye relief and has adjustable eyecups. This model has received lot's of positive feedback on the Cloudy Nights bino forum. I have owned a Vixen 9x63 Ultima since the late nineties and that is an excellent binocular for astronomy but I find it not as easy to use hand held as a 7x50 and generally only use it on a lightweight photo tripod as an aid when using a telescope.
