Almost Kinda Acoustic (A.K.A.) The Best of...

What are the best astronomical binoculars under 80 dollars?
Well, the best ones for astronomy are probably a pair of 16x50s, Celestron do one for about US$100, but they are a bit heavy unless you have strong arms and some support to stop the shakes..
10x50s are popular but you will be limited to the Moon, star clusters and a few bright nebulae, comets, and wide star fields.
Having said this you are making the right decision to get a pair of binoculars first if you are a beginner
Do not expect to see to see any planet details like the rings of Saturn etc., as there is insufficient aperture on a binocular of this size.
If you like Astronomy and want to see more, then you can consider a telescope later, most amateurs usually start with a pair of 8x40 or 10x50s to get a useful working knowledge of the sky.
A word of advice, take someone with you who knows about binos, but make sure that the binos can focus to infinity, the lenses are at least made of BAK4 glass, that they have multicoated lenses (usually a dark blue sheen), and make sure that the eyepieces have a full circle of vision with no obstructions (you can check this by looking through them from the objective lens instead of the eye piece) as poor binos often encroach into the "optical cone" and affect the views badly..
Hope that helps
$80 will get a half decent pair, but the best are far more expensive than that, like a few thousan dollars.
