Binoculars are a great way to observe. My cheap pair of 15x70's have become my ultimate travel scope. And I don't have to bring any of my other astro gear like eyepieces and stuff. All I need is the binocs and if I am up to it, a tripod. But for general gazing and star hopping, you just can't beat those 10x50's.

p/s: and the 15x70's go deep enough and also have enough magnification for some detailed observation of some of the larger and brighter objects.
