I'm looking for a good pair of binoculars to look at the night's sky (while I travel for work).  Any suggestions?

I would say these because of the price and how good they are: HUMVEE HMV-B-20X80 Weather Resistant Jumbo Astronomy Binocular, 20x80, Black by Campco for Hunting

    $119.95 $85.26

Look up on a clear night.. If you see stars you're OK. If not you're doing it wrong..

These are inexpensive and they come with a tripod adapter for viewing

15X70 gives you a good focal length and a wide field, making it easier to locate specific objects. Also they are made for stargazing.

I was told if the smoke was good you don't need no fancy glasses cause you can simply walk up to the planet in question.
