What’s the best spotting scope for Astro £300 ish?

[Trikeflyer]

Fellow stargazing members,  I’m Looking for a spotting scope for Astro recommendation. Reason is travel use and wanting to keep things very light weight. Will be in extremely dark skies on this trip.

I'd get a used set of Canon IS Binoculars.  Older models go for that kind of price and frankly they're the best easily portable views I've ever seen in dark skies.

I prefer Kowa spotters, if they have one in you price range.

Good luck.

Many birders are also amateur astronomers, and there’s lots of interesting information to read through.
