Well its done!
In the end I have pushed the button on two items:
1 x 18x50IS Binocs
1 x EF75-300 EF 75-300MM F4-5.6 - lens for my EOS 40D
I did have to tip in a few dollars - but it feels like getting two great pieces of kit for $60 instead of one awesome thing for nothing.
Hopefully this will get me on the road to viewing the sky and then photographing what I am seeing!
I will also invest in a really solid tripod and then get on with the learning, playing and experimenting.
Thanks again for the advice - I'll be sure to post back when it comes through.
WRT the "max aperture and lowest magnification" which you both strongly recommending I figured that if I need lower mag glasses I will be able to afford that but I may never again get the chance to go to the max of the range. Looking at the specs the difference between 15 and 18x when it comes to field of view will be miniml for someone with no experience and by the time I want more versatility I'll be ready for a telescope and a non-Canon brand of Binocs.
Thanks again
Will
