The 15x70 size is an excellent astro size binocular. With the Celestron Skymasters - they do have 'mixed' opinions and reviews. This is mainly related to the Q. and A. which can vary with them. [Read the 'Cloudy Nights' reviews]. I have had 3x over the years - 2x were miscollimtated - 1x badly with severe 'cats eyes'. The final one was good. Make sure you do get a excellent example - one that is well collimated from a company with a good return policy. Only buy one from a reputable astro optical shop. If you cannot view it yourself ask the optical sales person to check its Q. and A. prior to shipment. A tripod will maximes its potential.

Good luck

Chris
