low price canon 15x50 is binoculars Binocular talk

My interests keep moving since I discovered astronomy a few weeks ago. I was set on getting a setup for astrophotography, but I found some binoculars at my mothers house, and now I'm hooked on bino's. I think it would be best to just observe and learn the sky. These bino's are Tasco 9x50. Judging by the view of the moon, I would say they are equivalent to a 4.5 inch Newt with a 22mm eyepiece (perhaps a tad less). Admittedly, I haven't been out of the city with these bino's, but I plan to drive up to some peak around Flagstaff. I am currently in downtown Phoenix. Assuming I want to upgrade to a better bino's, would a larger aperture be in order? I looked at reviews for large bino's and it seems that many have optical problems. I would like to spend a few hundred, but that seems to be where the problems are. The Fujinon 16x70 (600-700 $) has good reviews, but at www.bigbinoculars.com, they are backorded, and other sites don't even carry them. I think many people are rushing to Fuginon since the comet discovery using them (a $40,000 pair I would assume). Any comments or suggestions? Thanks, -Tom

or suggestions? Canon IS 15x50. I already have a usable 50. I thought I'd go with 70-100 with a tripod...but I have to ask, does that I.S. really hold steady on stars while holding with the hands? That could really be useful for gazing while reclining, or lying down. Sometimes I wish I could have it all -Tom

-Tom Yes... they reall are usable while hand holding. That's why I love them so much. I tried all of them and chose the 15x50 rather than the 18x50 because of the wider field of view. In fact, the only things I don't like about them are the position of the tripod mouting hole, and the lack of covers for the _object_ives.

good reviews, but at www.bigbinoculars.com, they are backorded, and other sites don't even carry them. I think many people are rushing to Fuginon since the I have the Oberwerk 11X70s and am very happy with them. They can be hand held and give great views. If you have trouble getting them you might try Burgess Optical. They have a line of binoculars quite comparable to the Obeerwerks, they actually use the same housing, for even less money. http://www.burgessoptical.com/ Phil Hughes

When you say equivalent to a 4.5 inch Newt I assume you mean giving similar magnification. Since you say that you are novice in astronomy, I'd like to mention something that you maybe already know: the magnification is not important, compared to light gathering; for faint stuff most 4.5 inch scopes would outperform most binoculars.
