Yes, binoculars, Jim. But go for something cheaper because you will also need a reasonable tripod in the $120-150 range! Look at 10x or 12x binoculars. AOE do reasonable pairs. If you have a big solid tripod, then, OK go for 20x80, but keep your 8x30s handy for when you get lost with the narrow field of view of the big pair!
Then start saving because you will want a telescope and you will end up spending anything up to $800 to get started (including all the bits and pieces that we all add to the basic package).
