Like Rich, I too have been using celestron 9x63 and am more than pleased.
Fwiw, I think I paid like $300 for them some years back... Otoh, these
are the 'ultima' line which is (afaik) out of japan. Yhe skymasters out
of china (my understanding) but seem to get very good reviews.
That said, the covers and 'case' for the ultima kinda sucks.
(My only concern would be unit-to-unit quality, and maybe coating quality.)
At $66, imo thats a killer buy.
