If you are even considering any time hand holding then these binos are not for you. They are simply too heavy and large to hold steady enough to use the 20x magnification.

If occasional hand holding is an important consideration have a thought for the 15x70 instead. You can hand hold these for short periods BUT a proper, strong parallelogram mount will be necessary for anything more than a quick peek. These will give great views of the moon, jupiters moons, the birgheter nebulae and clusters.

That said, when you have a proper mount then the 20x80 would be perfectly suited for deeper study of these objects.
