I'm thinking about a nice 8X42 mid priced pair for stargazing. I'm 72 and wear glasses , so exit pupil and eye relief are important. Something around 25 oz for handholding. Looking at Kowa BD2 wide angle , Maven c1 or Athlon Optics G2....
that's a nice set up Ad Astra !.... I'm looking for a lightweight bino strictly for hand holding, but with great clarity, FOV and edge to edge sharpness ( without a Swarovski price !! )I sure do.
$ is a factor, as is your age (pupil), and ability to hold. Bear the formula in mind.
I have 80mm Oberwerks on a monopod for deep sky, and 60mm satellite spotters. Light buckets!
You're definitely on the right track.

Good site !....I'm also on the lookout for those " flying triangles " !!Mr. Mal, it's a fun hobby.
Satellite watching is a thing. The International Space Station (ISS) is one of the best binocular views, and it flies over your head every two weeks. Check it out ...
International Space Station
See the International Space Station! As the third brightest object in the sky the space station is easy to see if you know when to look up.spotthestation.nasa.gov
