I'm going with binoculars - I've heard that a lot of people do start with them first as well and now that I think about it I know I will for sure get a lot of use out of them because they are so much more portable.
I want to get a 10x50 but have also seen good reviews for one other. Anyone have any recommendations? (keep in mind, if I can get a good look at the moon then I'll be appeased for now

)
So far:

(Also, has anyone got a clue where I can buy the celestron cometron 7x50 in Aus? I'm having real trouble online, and international shipping is insane)
