What brand or size binoculars to get?

[darticus]

I have a telescope Celestron C8-SGT but very heavy to carry in and out. Maybe Binoculars would be a useful tool. Can someone suggest something. Thanks Ron

Not to big, 8 X 42 there easy on the arms, steady to hold, decent FOV, something like these.....

Definitely not to big or heavy if you are going handheld.

8x42 is ideal....and as light as possible within budget.
