This would be excellent for people interested in astronomy. You can view a ton more than the naked eye, these are low mag enough for handheld viewing, and they have other users if you decide stargazing isn't for you. I strongly recommend a good pair of binoculars before buying a telescope.

Is it worth upgrading to this celestron nature?
Given the increase in viewing field with an 8x set, would it be reasonable to spring for these? My understanding is that weight between 8x and 10x is marginal, for a given objective lens. My big concern is that I will never/rarely use these, if the optical quality is noticeably lesser than the M5 pair.

However, I am not sure the difference is enough to warrant the price difference. I went ahead and ordered the Celestron too.
For birding 8x42 is recommended over higher magnifications. I previously bought higher magnification, thinking more mag more better, but that is not the case. This article explains it better than I can (https://www.audubon.org/news/how-...binoculars)

Use the 8x cheapies for general viewing, and find what you want to look at. Then switch to the higher end 10x Nikons with better optical quality. I think I might keep both.
I have some mid range Bushnell 8x42 that I prefer but they cost 2x as much. When hiking it's nice to have a few pairs to spread across the group...

Man up, pay the price, stop wasting your time.

Update: in the comments, he agrees that this are similar to Prostaff as well.
It's probably worth $26 more. "Fully" is all four exterior lens surfaces have a coating, but the big upgrade to the Nature DX is the "phase-coating" on the prisms (not the lenses) - this boosts contrast, brightness, sharpness, and color accuracy.
