Hi Anthony
In answer to your original question binoculars are great.
Mainly use them as an easy way to scan the Milky Way.
I use a cheap pair of 15x70's and am considering getting 20x80's.
Like telescopes and cameras (and cars) you can spend almost anything on them.
15 x 70 is about the limit for hand holding - beyond that you need to support them, and suitable tripods can cost more than the binoculars.
(I used an inverted wheelie bin and and a piece of 3x2 to see Jupiter's main moons - which shows that I'm lazy and cheap).
Mark.
