Yes bino astronomy is amazing. Having been a 'telescope' observer for about 30 years during the past 3 years I have got involved more in bino astronomy. Some of my best views I have had are of the Milky Way around Sagittarius and Scorpius on a moon less night. The 10x50's are IMO the best 'all round' hand held binos. It you are like me and you get more 'involved' you may want to get a larger pair later on like the 20x80's on a tripod. Last year I was in the lucky position of acquiring a pair of 25x100IF binos on a HD mount - I use it so much that I sold my 8in F/4 Newt.! With binoculars, 2x eyed 3D viewing is so much more relaxing and combined with the 'immeadiacy' that you get makes for memorable observations. Good luck.
