For those of you that have followed the posts of this old telescope guy and his new found passion for binos...

With very little clear skies since I bought my 15x70s I have still racked up over 40 DSO including 30 Messier objects. Last night I could make out M66! I'm still amazed that you can see a Mag 9 galaxy at 35 million light years with binoculars.

Cool toy!

Good to hear, Daryl.

I should receive my own 15x70s today (Galileo version). Probably check 'em out tonight and give a little blurb tomorrow. A thorough evaluation will eventually follow. I don't expect them to "wow" me nearly as well as my 10x70 Fujis, but for 80 bucks, I figured what the heck.

Cheers and continued amazement.

How hand-holdable are your binocs? Thinking of getting a pair.
