Thanks, and I agree Richard, anything over 10X gets shaky after a short while. Initially, I was mostly star hoping with them and holding them less than ~20-30 secs at a time. Lately, I've been using them for longer viewing and the tripod comes out though it can be uncomfortable when looking straight upwards. Still pleased with them and bring them along on bike rides for day time viewing. The Oly 8x22 are still handy as well when I need something light and compact.
