Hi Daniel, The big binos will be fun for scanning around at various objects, particularly, star clusters and nebulous patches, and especially if they have reasonably wide field of views. You can look at the planets, but they are not really that good for this. You will see the disk of Jupiter and 4 of its moons for example, but not really any details much beyond that. This is where a Dob will serve you well.
