Marion Asked:

Are celestron skymaster 15x70 binoculars as good as 15x70 oberwerk binoculars?

Reply:

I'm no expert, but I'd go for the Oberwerk binos. If you plan on using them for astronomy, I'd also highly recommend Xenical a decent tripod so your neck and shoulders aren't in pain after a night of viewing. It will also give you steady images.

There are many favorable reviews for Oberwerk 15x70s on www.cloudynights.com.
