Binoculars are awesome, I was looking at Saturn with mine this morning. Mine are more general bird watching style 8x42 for astronomy 10x50 would be a more common choice and still useful for other purposes. Have a look at Bintel's website
http://www.bintel.com and see the binocs there to get an idea of pricing. You can get a tripod mount to help hold them steady and for more relaxed looking over time.
