Thanks for the report Graham.

I have the Canon 10x32 IS and absolutely love them. I don't really use them for astro (just occasionally) but use them a lot for birdwatching and planespotting, both of which they are fantastic for.

I think you'll find batteries last a lot longer than you expect. That 'couple of hours' must be for if you held then button down and kept moving. I've found with daily use a set of batteries lasts about 3 months, though if I go away I carry a spare set.

I'm considering more magnification in the future, so either the 15x50 or 18x50 are on my list. The 10x32 are excellent though, as you can carry them all day on a hike and it's not a problem.

Cheers,
Jason.
