Summary: 




		I would like to get some recomendations on  what type of
	binoculars are best for comet  watching, especially  since I may
	be in South  America this  coming December/January.   I've heard
	that  I  would  want a  pair with  a large  aperture (~50mm) but
	relatively low magnification (4x to 7x) for optimum  viewing.  I
	would also appreciate any recommendations on which manufacturers
	to watch/watch-out for.  

		Please reply directly to me.  If response  is good, I'll
	summarize to the net.  Thanks in advance.  Clear skys!
