I plan to use them for astronomy. Also, what objects could I see with them, and what would be a good mount for them? Thanks.

Nothing special, like the Celestron 15×70 I have, but you’ll see some nebulae and get some good sights of compact star clusters.
They’re OK, not great, but to get high quality costs big bucks and the view is still impressive on a crisp clear night for smaller bucks so if you can accept the shortcomings of budget optics, which are still better than mid-price of a few years ago, then just be happy.
You’ll need to mount them on a tripod or a parallelogram binocular mount…
…a WHAT??
Errr, one of these. Sit down before you see the prices.
I made mine from an old pair of skis.

Cheaper is the Orion mount at $170 if you can find one.

Home mades and shop-bought on videos. Worth a look to get ideas.

Binocular answer with links….forget the shopping. It’s a long flight away.
