At 15 times magnification, would you consider it easy to view through these while simply holding them or are they really only going to be wasted without a mount/tripod setup?
I've been using a standard set of 7×50's binoculars at home and by propping my elbow against something solid (usually the ground, laying on a blanket) I can get fairly steady views of stars, planets, constellations and even some deep space objects.
Unfortunately mine are only a cheap pair and the focus is starting to become a problem (even slight pressure on the rubber around the eyepieces changes the focus in that eye) so I'm looking to upgrade to something a little higher quality while waiting on acquiring my first telescope. Just scared off a little by the magnification levels.
Sent PM regarding pictures.
Thanks
