Hey space experts!
I am avid outdoor enthusiast and now I am looking for my first ever binoculars for stargazing.
As I learned I need less than 5lbs product with at least x7 magnification. My budget is kinda flexible since I have no idea what is the right price for binoculars I described. There are many options from some Chinese 10$ stuff to 2000$ Swarowski![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
However, most experts, amazon reviews and review websites suggest Celestron Cometron 7x50. Which weighs only 2 pounds and costs 30 $!
https://wildproofgear.com/best-binoculars-for-stargazing/ - they also say it is most rugged, waterproof and so on.
But the price seems suspicious to me. Is that a price for an astronomy device of such quality?
I would be glad if you just say whether Celestron 7x50 is okay or just suggest another brand of binoculars in 200-300 price range.
Thanks!
