Hey Crash,

Great choice but you might want to look at the 15x70's instead as they offer more magnification for those DSO's and hence more detail (they are both the same price from memory). Plus the exit pupil is smaller so they are better if you do most of your observing from the suburbs. They can be used braced for short observing stints but you should expect to mount them on a photo tripod for longer sessions. I have one of these and they are the perfect travel scope....

Cheers,
Darren
