Welcome to IIS
Binocs are a GREAT way to get into astronomy. I spent quite a few years with my eyes and an old pair of 7x50s before my first scope came along. Get yourself a planisphere (I use the large Chandler one available from most astro stores) and a comfy deck chair and you are away on the adventure of your life.
Don't forget to observe the moon, its amazing how much you can see with binocs.
Also have a look at
this site for bino observing themes.
