Wise choice to get into the hobby through binos. I used a trusty set of 7x50s for years before getting a scope. A great way to really learn the constellations, the moon, jupiters moons and how the whole thing moves over the year.

7x50s are great for hand held sessions lying in a banana lounge with a beer. 15x70s can be used the same way for short periods but a simple parallelogram mount can be made for more serious use.

I would recommend the AOE ones as starters and see how you go.

BTW go easy on the beer, alcohol lowers the eyes night sensitivity

Cheers
