Hence I advice you to consider the 15x70 binoculars Andrews sales under his own brand, as I bet they are exactly the same like the Celestron, but way more affordable.

Hi again Walaa,
I bought a pair of 10x60 binos from Andrews and they are fantastic - I love them! I'm not qualified to comment on the difference between a very expensive pair and these, but to my eye, they perform very well. They are still on sale (scroll down about half way down the page, they are the High contrast 10 x 60 binoculars for $49. They also come with a carry case. I also see a 15x70 there for $149.
