The Resolux binos give really sharp, satisfying views. I've ticked off 80 Messier's with the 10x50's with some easy ones still to go. I really hope to get all 110 with the 15x70's. I go to the US a bit so will take them with me to see the rest of the northern objects. I would be interested to know if the bino viewers out there think that would be possible using 15x70's.
It's very hard to get a steady image in the 15x70 when hand holding. They are quite heavy as well and I find after 5 minutes or so I start to get the speed wobbles. So I don't try and hand hold them much.
I can hold the 10x50 steady all night. I picked out Neptune with them recently, and while it didn't appear as a disk, it had a really nice blue colour that made it stand out quite noticeably.
I'm still buying goodies for my new XT12g as well. At the moment I feel like I've got too much cool new stuff and not enough time, clear skys, dark nights, etc, etc, to use it all! Cheers
