What is a good binocular

I want to buy a binocular that wont waste my money at all and is really a good quality. I actually wanna look at the planets too.

The best buy in binoculars for the money is Orion's Scenix 10x50:

A binocular is NOT suitable for observing the planets as it doesn't have enough resolution or magnification to show significant detail. The minimum telescope for serious planetary observation would be a 6-inch (150mm) reflector with 200x magnification.

I've owned quite a few different binoculars, and the one that really stands out is a pair of Fuji 7 x 50 with a chipped prism that I bought in a thrift store for $15. Unfortunately, Fujis that are either new or used in good condition are quite expensive. Whatever the brand, 7 x 50 is by far the best for general astronomical viewing because their exit pupil is the size of your own pupil at maximum dilation. In other words, they are as bright as you can get.

Binoculars won't show much of the planets. Your basic 10x50 binoculars WILL show craters on the Moon, the four largest moons (as faint star-like points of light) of Jupiter and if mounted on a tripod the phases of Venus.

Binoculars really come into their own for wide field views of the Milky Way and the brighter star clusters and nebulae.

I'm very happy with my 10x50 binoculars from Garrett Optical
