Telescope Reviews: What are the best astro binoculars ?

I'm happy to learn that the numerous replies to my original question can be useful for other members. However, as far as I am concerned, I think I will try the Fujinon 16x70 as suggested above.

I will make some comments about the other options :
I am very interested in the Nikon SE 12x50, but I prefer using my binoculars only tripod mounted for astronomy, whatever their magnification are. For terrestrial viewing the Nikon 12x50 will be less convenient than my Zeiss 10x42 FLs, and for astronomical viewing they have a narrower AFOV than the Fujis. This doesn't mean that I will never purchase them however.
In fact my question is which binocular I will buy FIRST.

The Zeiss 15x60 are very compact, and have a central focusing. These features increase their price, but are not necessary for me. I am ready to pay much more than the Fujinon to have a better image, but I'm not sure there is enough difference to justify the increase in price, especially if the stray light in the Fujinon can be suppressed by long dew shields, as I assume.

For the same reason, I exclude the Nikon 18x70. Its major advantage seems to be its wider AFOV. That's appealing, but not enough. Thanks to the price difference between the Nikon and the Fujinon 16x70, I can almost afford the Nikon SE 12x50.

Among the roof prism binoculars, I'm convinced that Zeiss, Swarovski and Leica offer several excellent models in the 50/56 mm range. I would choose the Ultravid 12x50, because they are the lightest ones, can be hand held thanks to the 12x magnification, and have the wider AFOV. But again they are in competition with the Nikon SE 12x50. It will be a difficult choice for me if I decide to purchase a 12x50 model. But I will examine this question later.

Some have advised me to acquire a binocular with a 7 mm exit pupil, or a wide field binocular. It's a possible solution because my pupils can dilate up to 6.5 mm, and sometimes my sky is very dark. But instead of a 10x70 model, I have already chosen the Zeiss Victory 8x56. They have numerous advantages : they can be hand held, have a large field, and have the widest AFOV among the top 8x50/56 binoculars. Furthermore, they will be useful at dusk on terrestrial viewing. I have looked through an 8x56 Classic long years ago, and was very impressed by the brightness in such a situation.
But I will try first the Fujinon 16x70.
Thank you to all.

Kenny,

I remember very well the review of the Taks and the 15x56 SLC you mention. It has greatly influenced me to buy the Taks, rather than a pair of 15x56 or 15x60. But now I feel I need something like that.
