Tom,

Welcome to the forum. I have the Garrett 15x70SS,excellent binoculars. Clusters are also very nice in them. Wait until M45 comes around again, NICE. I used them on Jupiter last year and was surprised at the clarity.

You do know that the 15x70's are the start of a collection

I only had one pair of binoculars when I joined the forum two years ago

No waiting necessary!

Not knowing your latitude or any light pollution that may interfere, I recommend that you seek out Messier 8, the Lagoon Nebula, in Sagittarius. After a long wait, I turned my mounted GO SS 15x70 to Messier 8 on a mildly windy and chilly June 19th for the first time. The level and extent of luminous and starry details were beautiful.

Clear Skies!

Todd
