A Milky Way binoculars?

[pluton]

Hello,
the other night, two days ago, on a transparent night, With the Milkyway high in the sky, clouds of bright and dark nebulae high in the sky.
I was testing with an old 10x50, very heavy and distorted at the edges, and much, the picture quality was very mediocre, very wide field of vision, but without contrast, with a very weak image.
Then, I use a Canon 12x36 model stabilized, the image change for the better, more contrast, more narrow field, but clearly better image ... but I would have liked to have had a less powerful binocular, 7x or 8x, as opposed to the 10x and 12x, but to have a good contrast and image definition, but more field than 5 degrees of canon 12x36 and more stabilized than those provided by the 10x images as shaking me something.
In your opinion, a good 7x / 8x 42mm, maybe an other configurations, could be a good complement to these binocular 10x50 and 12x36?
That is, in order to obtain another kind of observation ..
This being so, what models would you recommend?
I would like to not weigh much, I am not able to maintain stable 10X, and he had at least 8 degrees, wide field, and it will bring me a more general observation of the sky, not so much of celestial objects like Moon, planets, satellites. .sino rather the Milky Way with its huge bright and dark nebulae and star clusters and clusters ..
Very grateful

Vixen Galilean 2.1x 42 - a different kind of binocular! Should give you all the widefield you can handle. Beautifully made big ol frog-eyes. FLO sell them. They're very worth a look.

They almost need to come with a head harness so that you could wear them like glasses!

Definitely, the coolest Binos on the block.

What sort of budget were you thinking?

I think that you will be "limited" to 8x42's. I went searching for 6x binoculars a couple of weeks back and had little success, they do exist but not easy to come across.

I have 2 sets of 8x42's same make and find that the shorter ones give a more stable view. The IS Canons do come in 8x25 for less power.

There appears to be a 6x30 Bushnell Nature View set of binoculars. They may be worth searching out on the net. Bushnells are fairly good mid price binoculars.

Have a look through this site: http://www.bestbinocularsreviews.com/

They seem to cover the majority of makers and most of the models, at least you can quickly pick out what assorted specifications are available
