If you and your son feel like a trip out west, I'm happy to show you a cheap pair of 30x100s so can get an idea of the big binocular approach to stargazing. You can compare smaller binoculars (20x80, 12x60) and the view through an 8" SCT or reflector. Send me a Private Message if you want to do this.
Thanks also Erick..........wished you guys lived on the other side though......will do more research now........

I took up this hobby over 20 years ago (when i was first married) but gave it up 5 years later.......(was sick of looking through a single eye piece) but now it has spearned my interests again and technology/quality has improved hopefully......ummm might take up your offer especially cause you have the 30X100's.........I will certainly get back to you..thanks heaps to everyone on your thoughts........

Might even look up my old astronomy club in Mornington (if they are still around)...from the high school if i remember rightly.......
