Hi,

I've got a pair of 15 x 70 Celestron Skymasters. Nice binos for quick scans of the night sky. Looking thru Omega Centauri, Eta Carinae, Scorpius area at dark skies definitely give a wow factor. The only downside is weight. You could hold them up for a minute but after that its just outright tiring.

Should you go down this path for size or bigger, the tripod/mount needs to be solid, anything less will be unstable with a lot of vibration and end up being annoying.

I use a banana chair and find that more comfortable than say standing up, but even then you still need something in the end to prop those binos.
