Default Bins

I want to view the sky in a more instant and mobile way, and binoculars are
the way forward i think.

What specs do i need to go for with binoculars?

doesnt matter, i have purchased a pair of a 10x60 with low light
capabilities.

That will do the trick better than my other ones which i cant remember what
spec they are, as i cant find them, but they aint as good!

I find 11 x 80 binocs are the highest power and highest weight binocs that I
can use effectively when hand-held.
Even so, I often use 8 x 40 or 10 x 50 as these have wider field of view and
are easier to carry; though not showing either faint or bright objects as
prominently.
