Question by Nigel: What Is a good binoculars under 0/RM1000 for astronomy use?
Hi,

I am looking on getting binoculars for astronomy use. I am currently thinking of getting the "Celestron SkyMaster 16x70". Is this a good enough binoculars for me as an amateur astronomer. Do I need a different binoculars if I do so, what would the suggestions of binoculars be?

I have a budget of 1000MYR or 350 USD. Please help me.

Thank you so much in advance

I own both 10x50 and 15x70 binoculars, but I find that I use the 10x50s a hundred times for every time I use the 15x70s. The latter are too heavy and very hard to hold steady. They could be mounted on a tripod, Alli Online but this, to me, defeats the purpose of binoculars. So, I'd recommend 10x50s from a major manufacturer like Orion, Celestron, or Nikon.
