The Orion M.G. 9x63 are a good binocular. Fully Japanese made, FMC / Bak-4 prisms. They have generous 22 mm eye relief with comfortable rubber eye cups and are ease to use with no blackouts.
They are not W.P. but sealed. The have a 5 degree Tfov which is not wide but the FOV is very usable with a primarily sharp to edge and contrasty image. Stars can be focused to an absolute pin point at night.
As with most 7 mm exit pupil bino they provide a bright image and if you have dark sky viewing you will take advantage of the their full aperture.
They are well made and should last you a long time.
Good choice.

Chris
