I think these will fit nicely. I normally use binos to help me find objects when i am trying to find something new. I was using zoom binoculars (10-30x50) for this. They made all stars look like coma or astigmatism so i assumed collimation was out and zoom binos aren't good for astronomy anyway. Anyway, most of you seem to think these are good enough for the price and i am trying to save for the tmb92 right now so these are definatly priced right.
If i wasn't mainly a telescope user, it might make sense to spend more money on binos and maybe in the future i will but, i need to find out if i will even use them enough to justify spending more. Really i am not that picky with binos. If the zoom binos showed decent star images, i wouldn't even be looking for a new pair.
