DJDD, that's where you have to go if you are serious. But you have to start somewhere. I wouldn't start at the $50 tripods - move up to the $120 range for a Velbon. You'll get a tripod that your 10/50 binoculars should be happy on (except if you are trying to view towards the zenith) and you can start some wide-angle astrophotography (or star trails) with that. It will always be a good tripod for non-astro camera work, so it won't be a waste of money.
