Cool. Good choice, you'll love them for astronomy and they're a great size for daytime use too.
The first time I aimed my first pair of binoculars at Jupiter and saw the Galilean moons arrayed either side... I was immediately, helplessly hooked. Happy to say that four telescopes later I'm still hooked.
If you have a tripod already, it's very much worth buying a cheap tripod adapter for them - like $10 on eBay. Even the steadiest hands wobble a little. Having them perfectly steady makes a huge difference to how clearly you can see things, particularly very faint objects like nebulae.
