Celestron 15x70
They are nice for the money. I do like mine. Despite what you read dont try 15x70 binocs hand held unless if you are Data from startreck. Yes it can be done, but the vibes mean you lose alot and it aint that comfortable. Tripod mount it. The bracket they supply is a joke though. Plastic and flexes to much. You will need to order a proper one - solid metal - which wont flex.

You get what you pay for.
I bought these to use for long range terrestrial viewing also looking at the night sky. The binoculars seem robust and are comfortable to handle. At this magnification they do require a tripod or something to lean them on or very steady hands.
They focus well enough and most of what I have viewed has been clear but peripheral vision is not so great to the point where it can be a little irritating when you,re trying to view something moving or perhaps a landscape and you have to continually move the glasses to keep things in focus in the centre of the lens. I got mine from Amazon for considerably less than they,re selling them now, so,OK for the money. Incidentally despite the peripheral vision thing they provide a real close up of a full moon on a clear winters night. Or maybe that,s the whiskey.

Celestron SkyMaster Binoculars
After much research, I finally decided to go with the Celestron SkyMaster Binoculars. They are better than I expected, I can see the moon clearly, very close up and my only advice is they are quite heavy so a tripod is recommended. I am not an expert on Binoculars but I am VERY pleased with these. Happy Stargazing.
