Hi Niv,
I have a pair of Celestron Skymaster 15x70 bins.
(With 2 friends got 3 pairs from USA - worked out at $98 each delivered.)
We were aware of the risk (freight too expensive if there were warranty related issues), but half the price of buying in Australia.
Provided they are held perfectly still - can see the moons of Jupiter.
They are light enough for terrestial use also.
Everyone is happy with them.
There is also a 25x70 version ($120 delivered from UK).
The guys at Bintel were recommending $400 plus bins which I'm sure would be great but my reasoning was that I had spent $500 on an 8" dob, and the binoculars were just a supplement - I couldn't justify spending a similar amount on them.
BTW - the binoculars are a really nice easy way to look at the sky.
Regards Mark
