I'm looking at buying either 11x70 or 15x70 binoculars from AOE with a tripod. I am doing this because my only equipment at the moment is a pair of 8x30's, and it will be many months before the 18" Dobsonian is complete. A pair this size will fill the gap in the interval, and I think, be an excellent asset after the Dob comes along.

I realise this size of binoculars will require a mount. Any thoughts from any members on:

1. These binoculars from AOE
2. A good, but not too expensive tripod (AOE sells this one).

hoo roo,
