depends on a.) what that price is and b.) what you want to be looking at.

>>59862493
for casual star gazing, go with binoculars. they are more portable and can also be used for bird watching, nature watching in general

>>59862493
get a refractor with the largest aperture you can afford

>>59862510
The same can be said about traps

>>59862694
No, because traps only have bad holes.

Are there any better binoculars in the cheapo price range?
