Unfortunately, I haven't tried Barska ones. You will need a tripod for them. But having attached them to the tripod, you'll find that you can easily look all over the sky by holding the tripod legs and lifting the tripod and binoculars up - the extra weight stabilises things a bit.
I did once buy an extra cheap pair of Sakura 20X80s ($52 on Ebay) which were reasonably okay (except that they had a bit of that looking down a well experience to them), but their big advantage was that they were only really 17X, making them easy to hand hold.
