This spring I took my 10x50's on a church backpacking trip in Pennsylvania's Allegheny National Forest. Under the pristine skies (zero light pollution), the 10x50's delivered some amazing views. They are an older pair of Celestron Ultima's, not the recent offering with the same name. I think these worked great for my trip but a concern I had was that they are not waterproof or shockproof so they needed to be packed carefully and treated gently.
I used them by laying down flat on the ground (on my sleeping pad)and resting them on my face. This worked good for me for overhead views. I enjoyed the best views of M13, M51, and M101 that I ever had through these binoculars.
