The binos are a good start .... lots of good stuff you can see with a nice pair of binos (not just good for stars and clusters and getting to know your way around the sky , you can also them to check out the chicks at the beach or spy on fishos from a handy headland) though I would look at 15x80 or 20x80 binos) as a great starter.

Skip the 80mm - 4" refractor and look at a good quality 10" dob (one with a good mirror cell and 2" focusor ... you can get a nice GEM for it later.
