Dear All,
I am looking at purchasing a pair of binoculas (please pardon the pun).
My question is, are fixed focus binoculars any use for star gazing. The
particular pair Iam thinking of are Jason 10x50s. the never focus design
appeals particularly becasue it appears to be very robust as well as
easy to use.

Any help most appreciated,

Timothy Bates
