Celestron 25x70 binos - worthwile?

[Planetesimal]

Just came across these on Amazon, currently on sale for the same price as my RACI finder (under 70 quid).

They look quite cool, but am I better off buying a couple of BST EPs for the 150PL instead?

Hi

25x is pretty powerful but I should imagine that hand holding will be a no-no. They will just shake about too much without support of some sort.

On a tripod they will be fine.

You will be needing a monopod or a tripod for an easy night viewing, have you thought about 20x80 bins for about the same price?!

I carry my 10x50 and 20x80 bins and monopod for on the spot viewing mainly on the way home from work
