I second the idea to scan around in the vicinity of the Southern Cross. Easy to do with binos, and lots of nice objects to view around that region in particular. 10x50's would be my pick for starting out.
I love my 15x70's but they're not possible to hand hold for long. Either way its good if you can steady yourself against a wall or post. You can hand hold for much longer (and keep the view steadier) that way.
