I have the 15x70 Astro ones from Bintel and they are great, and not that expensive. However I don't like the cheap plastic tripod mount, it rocks and flexes too much. I find a tripod makes them very easy to use, you just can 't hand hold them steady enough to pick out DSOs, which they can do if you go for the brighter ones.

If I was buying now i'd probably go for the 20x80s, more aperature and a better tripod mount- but heavier and more expensive.
