Hi Brett,
Those bino's should be a good start into astronomy. I've just bought a 10" dob and still use my bino's nearly as much as I did before, when I can't be bothered dragging the telescope out.

I don't see why you couldn't see the bands in Jupiter with those if you have sharp vision. I can see the bands in my 60mm Tasco refractor with crappy cheap eyepieces at 28X.

M31 and also M33 look good throgh binos so when you get a chance have a look at these. Also Omega Centauri is also very good.

Good luck with it and enjoy!

Cheers
