Celestron Skymaster25x100

Hello, 

Really, this model can be a good DSO binocular on a panoramic head and photo- tripod mount? 

Best than a 15x70 binocular? 

Thanks in advance!!

If you are looking at the Celestron 25x100 then if you can get the pro version as they are better quality.

I had had a pair of the 25x100 Celestron binoculars for a while. On a normal photo tripod (a tall and strong one) I found them difficult to use because of the straight through view. If they had been the type with 45 or 90 degree eyepieces, things would have been easier or if I had used them on parallelogram mount (see link below for more on binocular mounting) they could have also been easier to use. I did not keep them for long. Today I stick with 11x70 and 20x70 as my largest binoculars.
