Are Galileo brand binoculars any use at all for astronomy?

McCann asked:


I recently had the chance to buy a pair of 10×50 porro prism Galileo binoculars for $40. Do people think it’s a good buy? And if it isn’t in the major league of good instruments, will it still be of some use and fun?

Cheers all.
I know the value of binoculars in astronomy, especially for newbies like myself! But I’m really wondering about the specifics of the brand of Galileo instruments and whether any amount of money for a pair would be a waste.
