Erick, Must be a lot to do with your local sky? I used a pair of the Optex 25 X 100 binos which are the same as all the generic 25 X 100 FB's floating around under various brand names, and at the SPSP ( 250km from Sydney ) was blown away to see Omega Centauri beautifully resolved into a mass of pinpoint stars. Yes, these binoculars show colour in the day or on the Moon , but for Deep Sky work they were very sharp and clear over 3/4 of the field. Definately a great bargain.
