Binoculars

Well the telescope is all planned out, but in the meantime I need something to keep me busy and help learn the sky prior to stepping up. To do that I'm shopping for some decent binos that will be suitable without breaking the bank.

I apologise for having two threads towards the top of this section- I was surprised to see the other one still up there!

Anyway, today I had a look at some Olympus 10x50 DPS for $169 (such a price differential to Amazon but they won't ship...grrrr). Are these suitable? They are definitely at the top end of what I wanted to pay (ideally under $100) but if they are a good option I'll jump that way.

As always I'm turning to you guys for some advice prior to plonking my hard earned down on the table. Any replies and advice appreciated

PS- I have already searched the for sale section here, Ebay and Gumtree.

PPS- I should add that this is for very introductory level sky watching so I'm not expecting huge things- especially at my price point!
