Astronomy binoculars

Astronomers often rely on telescopes to view faraway planets because of their unmatched ability to magnify the cosmos. However, most amateur star-gazers will find that astronomy binoculars are inexpensive and good for viewing close star clusters on a clear, dark night.

What are reputable companies that make quality astronomy binoculars?
• Nikon
• Celestron
• Apogee
• Bushnell

Two numbers (blank by blank) are assigned to an astronomy binocular to indicate power level. For example, the first number indicates the amount of magnification; amateurs should use power less than 12x because too much magnification causes shakiness and makes it difficult to view stars.
