Beginner Binoculars for Astronomy

This is a brief introduction to selecting binoculars for astronomy. Aimed at the beginner, the advice is mostly what NOT to buy. Avoid wasting your money and time on useless and expensive gimmicks.
I am a retired Astronomy Professor. I do not make any money or benefit in any way from my recommendations. Unlike many UA-cam reviewers, I am not an Amazon affiliate. I make nothing when you make a purchase.
