Binoculars for Astronomy 15X10 which brand???
I am a beginner. Read reviews, most ppl recomend 15x10 I am wearing glasses, so looking for one that feel more comfortable and also the best view. I wonder which brand is good for me. My budget is below AU300. Can anyone help?
sorry! should be 10x50
I am 31 year old. Intend to get 2.
1) 10x50 & 20x80 or 9x63
or
2) 7x50 & 20 X80 or 9x63which will be the best combination?
Most people DON'T recommend 15x10mm binoculars as they would yield dim images that would be hard to hold steady. More likely they suggest 10x50mm which is fine for astronomy. Some recommend 7x50 as well, but unless you are young (under 30) and live under dark skies you won't get the benefit of the large exit pupil (the cone of light that comes out of the eyepiece side of the binoculars). You will see more with 10x vs 7x as well. Since you wear glasses, you should get a pair with large eye relief (18mm or more, check the specs on the model that you choose).
Another good feature is that the optics be fully-multi-coated, or even better, fully-broadband-multi-coated, as this will give appreciably brighter images than binoculars with lesser coatings (and trust me, if the specifications don't mention these, they don't have it).
Orion sells some with these specifications (see links), as well as Celestron and others.

Which is the for a wildlife Safari in Kenya Tanzania. In this Binocular guide for Safaris we list pairs of binoculars that you should acquire,
What do the numbers signify?
What are the numbers that you see on binoculars, such as 12 x 50, 10 x 26? The first number (12 or 10) is the magnification power of the binocular. The second number (26 or 50, for example) is the diameter of the objective lens in millimeters that is the big lense up front, the larger the objective lens, the brighter the view as it lets in more light into the binocular. So when you see a set of binoculars that are 10 x 26, it means they are 10x magnification with a 26 millimeter objective lens.
So why don't you just get a binocular with the largest magnification and objective lense possible? You can, but binoculars with high magnification and a large objective lens are large and weigh allot, fine if you are only planning to use them from a vehicle on game drive for example. It is when you want a compact set that are easy to travel with, take on Kenya Tanzania safari walks and still have a good magnification and let in enough light to get a nice bright image things get tricky and there is always some sort of trade off.

How to Focus Binoculars - depends on the type of binoculars you have. The "center focus" is the most frequent type, and has a knob in the center to focus. You need to calibrate them for your vision once and from then on it is only a matter of focusing on the subject when you view it.
Self Focusing Binoculars Review
Some times known as "auto focus binoculars" or "focus free binoculars" or even "in focus binoculars". They are actually permanent focus binoculars and have been around for over 10 years. There is allot of misconception about "self focusing binoculars" and how they work, in fact they are not "self-focusing binoculars" or "auto focus binoculars" at all; they are permanent focus binoculars and everything from about 40 feet to infinity remains in focus with no additional adjustments needed. This is accomplished by sophisticated optics which uses your eyes natural ability to focus.
Sounds great, but permanent focus binoculars do have their down sides you need to have perfect vision, or your vision needs to have been corrected or you will not be able to see clearly through them and they do not have an effective close range. So when that tour driver or safari guide gets close to a elephant and you want to see the detail of his horn you'll be missing out.
