Hi all,
And welcome to the forum JMB,
I think most members agree,Binoculars are very usefull for Astronomy,especially for beginners.
They not only give a correct image,but provide a reasonably wide field of view,"fov",which makes finding things a lot easier for newcomers,like you AND me.
My main grab and go handholdable binoculars,are the 11x56s,they weigh about 1140 gram,and to me are easily handholdable,I am 5' 2",and weigh about 10 stone,(yeah,I,m a giant).
Hope this helps,although you will find a lot of more experienced people here than me.
Regards.John
