No, but I have used a couple of pairs of 15x70 binoculars, which I own.

Orion Little Giant II 15x70 which I highly recommend.
Oberwerk 15x70 Deluxe which I also highly recommend.

Of course these arent where you should start with binocular viewing of the stars.

Ill let you know how they are when I get them.

Yes. That's the thing about binoculars. The larger the objective the heavier the binocular. The higher the build quality the heavier the binocular. The higher the power the harder to hold steady enough...and for shorter periods of time.

I love using my 8.5x44 Swift Audobon (2nd Gen) binoculars for using in conjunction with a telescope or to sweep the miliky way or view constellations or star asterisms in a grouping.
