Do NOT get a cheap pair of binoculars. Binoculars at precision made instruments and astronomy test's the limits of them. 10 cheap ones are not worth the cost of one expensive one. A good pair of 10x50 will last a life time. The Orion Resolux [Kunming BA8] is a good start, they are heavy however and are best used on a tripod to maximize there abilities. The Orion Mini Giants 9x63 are OK and really and should be considered as a entry level bino. They do have a 7 degree exit pupil which is best for dark skies and / or young eyes. They have a 5 degree Tfov which gives a 'narrowish' 50 degree Afov, which you may find restrictive. [Like looking thru 2x long tubes]. They are Japanese made and FMC, they are not however W.P. I had a pair from Bintel in Melbourne which oddly enough had some Q. and .A issues, Bintel Exchanged it quickly. I no longer own it as I on sold it which was related to the the narrow Afov. Two alternatives would be the Pentax 10x50 PCF 11WP and / or the Nikon 10x50 AE, these are good binos if on a strict budget. The Pentax again has a narrow Afov of 50 degrees, the Nikon has a wider angle 65 degree Afov but displays more field curvature.
