I started out with an old pair of 7x50s for years before getting my first scope. A great way to learn the sky.
Even now I use my AOE 9x60s almost every session while the scope is cooling and to have a low power view of the area I am observing at the time.
I would recommend the 9x60s as a good compormise between size and power on a modest budget.
Cheers
