I just received the latest catalog from Heartland America and they have a sale on the Barska 15X70 Binoculars at $69.99. These look very similar to my Oberwerks (which I have and love) and the Bear 15X70's that Sportsmen's Guide has occasionally, but I can't attest to these personally. They say they're "Fully Multicoated" but don't say anything about the prisms other then being "Porro" in design. I just thought you astronomy cohorts would like to know about the ad. Here's the web page for the same ad....
