[nightfisher]

Hi all,

i have sold my celestron 15x70`s as my bins needs have changed! when i bought my 15x70`s i had no telescope, but now that has changed and i want bins to use hand held only to sweep the night sky with, to search and locate, so could my learned friends advise what size for hand held.

many thanks:icon_salut:

10x50s are my favourites for hand held use.
