You are the perfect person to ask about binoculars.

I want a pair for watching the volcano erupt (crosses fingers, sooner it goes, sooner it's safe again for climbing). What should I look for (ie what are the signs of good binoculars?)

I'd help you with one of these, but I'm sure you're more likely to be able to afford them than I am!

The answer to the question you asked me about midges can be found in entomology.

- Look for "Leica", "Swarovski" or "Zeiss" written on bins.
- Spew up your life savings for them - or spew up your life savings and buy them for me.
- Take me to watch volcano erupt and I will let you borrow them. :)

Which volcano? I love volcanoes, I must visit an active one someday, or maybe 2 or 3 or 4...

As for bins, really I don't know much apart from those brands cost a bomb but are worth every penny. I'd recommend 10x42s for the best magnification and lighting.

Mt Merapi, just out of Jogjakarta. It's very very active. Right now we're banned from climbing it cuz it's gonna do something.
