Good choice. I always thought that a hi quality pair of 15x70's are one of the best 'allround' astronomical binos you can get - good image scale and exit pupil, a 'wide' Afov and enough aperture to get those faint DSOs - plus they are light enough to hand hold and / or use an inexpensive monopod. First sight has to be the star clouds in Sagittarius and Scorpius - M6 and M7 will look very impressive on a dark night. Clear skies.
