Are these good for star gazing and astronomy? null

Any binoculars are good for astronomy, but like with telescopes, the bigger the aperture, the more light they gather, and thus the dimmer the object can be seen. If the 10x42 are destined for other duties, like birdwatching and nature watching, they will do good double duty for astronomy. If these are being investigated only for astronomy, a binocular with 50mm objectives, or larger, would be a better choice for sky watching. Also be aware that any magnification above about 7 is hard to hold steady by hand and a tripod mount may be needed.
