Question Something small but impressive

Hi stargazers,

I'm selling my 8" Dob because it's just too big for my little house, and since we've had kids I'm hardly awake past 9pm!

But I just can't bring myself to give up on the stars... so I was wondering if anyone could give me some recommendations for either a smaller scope or some binoculars which would give good moon and planetary viewing.

Can a pair of binos be mounted on a regular (ie camera) tripod? Are there adapters for mounting them maybe?

We're selling the Dob for $400, so I wouldn't want to spend too much more than that.

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate your advice.
