Here is the place to talk about all those equipment(Telescope, Mounts, Eyepieces, etc...) you have. Not sure which scope/eyepiece is best for you? Trash it out here!
Gary, thanks!
I will be in Punjab in the north of india ... its is a very laidback city with negligible people interested in astronomy, so I would actually be surprized to find an astronomy shop there ... most i can find would be some binos and small scopes in some optics shop ...
But i am really hoping for good skies coz it is "as of yet" not so light poluted ... so really looking fwd to that .. will feed it back in here when i return.

Hi there, I have one too but so far its wobbling all over haha..and cant see anything yet cos of cloudy skies
hoping to see something soon! the lens is rather blurry wonder why
I have the same set of Binocular
A 15X70mm Binocular might be too heavy and too high mag to be hand held(Unless you have a very strong hands )
did your 15x70 Binocular came with a adapter?
if so you might want to mount the Binocular on a decent tripod.

Blurry in what sense? Stars can't focus to a pinpoint? Double image?
Did you do the proper left barrel left eye focusing and right eye diopter focusing procedure? Else, it could just be the sky condition not being good enough or binocular going out of collimation.
Perhaps you can bring it down to any sidewalk session and have them inspected.

I own the 15x70 & 25x100 Skymasters. I use the former more frequently. To hand hold the bins, position your hands nearer to the objective lens end and for added stability, prop your elbows on some stable surface ie. Window grilles or table. As for the double image issue, does it happen when you view land objects s.a. Buldings etc? If it doesn't, you probably didn't adjust the ocular distance of the bins to match the width between your eyes.
