Well having used the binoculars for a couple of nights in my light polluted back yard, they are great. The views of open clusters, Milky Way and globular clusters are magic. As some guys have said, there is a bit of colour around the moon, but the view is still well worth the money. Next thing for me is getting out to a dark sky site for a better view, with my scope as well as it hasn't been out of the city yet.

Hi Grafted. Welcome to IIS.
I am fairly new to having a good scope and pretty good ep's and very new with bino's. Having said that, these bino's are heavy and without a mount of some sort would be just about impossible to use at their best,so later on I am going to build myself a bino chair with parallelogram mount to carry them. As for the views between bino's and scopes, John and Steve above have covered that far better than I could. Another thing to do is try and get into an astro club and have a look through other members gear before you spend your hard earned.
