I got a pair of 10x50's over the weekend and was able to see 3 of jupiter's moons and several amazingly dense blobs of stars that were totaly invisable otherwise. Then my girlfriend found a really hot naked chick changing in her 11th floor bedroom. awsome. Thanks JS.

i want to get the 7x50 pair he has there but i am not sure if i should get the version that is waterproof with the nitrogen in it that he has or the cheaper version that has the same lenzes but no nitrogen. I live in a costal town and in the summer we have days with 100% humidity; will this cause fog inside them? and should i pay the extra cash?

@mousaey actually the ones with bluish glassy colored lens are the best for astronomy.
