12x60 is a useful magnification and aperture. I have this in an economical pair from AOE. They are always to hand when I am observing. But you'll find that they would be best on a tripod if you really want to study anything. Hand-held is OK for a quick look but you'll need steady hands to stop the view jiggling around and the weight is probably a bit more than is comfortable for extended periods.

This particular make, I have no experience.

What's the "reasonable price"? Ballpark figure?
