A pair of 10x50's are indespensible.
They give a nice wide field of view so it's virtually impossible to get lost up there, as you can do when you are using higher magnification.
Down the track you'll find the 15x60's more useful.
I use mine regularly for taking a lazy cruise through the sky, seeing if a bright meteor has left a smoky trail, tracking down comets before zooming in with the scope and for observing those deep sky objects that are just too big to see properly in a telescope eg. LMC, Andromeda Galaxy.
