Someone maybe 3 years ago mentioned having and liking the Canon 8x25, but that is a small aperture for astronomy. If you get an 8x that's nice for wide-field, handheld astronomy, it will be good in the daytime as well. If you or son or girlfriend will wear glasses (or sunglasses in the daytime) when using the binocular, long eye relief is a requirement, and the Nikon AE qualifies on that as well as other aspects. I just wish they were fully multicoated.
