Best beginner binoculars for astronomy?

I'm looking for some binoculars for astronomy, preferably a 10x50 one.
My budget is under $150 and would like a high quality one.
I have looked and narrowed it down to either a Nikon Action or an Olympus DPS I.
Which one is better and is there any other binoculars that I should consider?

Both Olympus and Nikon are reputable brands, but I would particularly recommend the Orion Scenix 10x50, which has received top reviews from Phil Harrington and Robert Thompson.
