Binoculars

I'm looking to spend $100 on a pair of binoculars. Does anyone have a
favorite brand. Assuming you use binoculars often.

$100 is pretty tight for good quality astro binoculars. But=20
bigbinoculars.com has a 8x56 and 11x56 for $99. I'd go=20
with the 11x56 myself.

I found a nice pair of 7x50s at edmund scientific.

less.

I've got a pair of Barska Blackhawk 15x70 for 64.95$ plus shipping on:

They're amazing for astronomy and I'm very happy with them. There's even
a good review about them on cloudynights:

Burgess (burgessoptical.com) has a nice pair of Series I 15x70s for
$99. He star tests each pair. The optics on these are fully
multicoated.
