Advice or tips on binocular use

Hi All

Being on a tight budget i just purchased Saxon 25-125x80 Large Aperture Zoom Binoculars (yet to arrive)

I know these arent the best binoculars around and i did try buying from AOE but their site is down and not even emails are going through but i wondered if these will do for a couple of years to get myself used to star gazing and if so what sort of things can i expect to see using these binoculars??

I live in the south west of Western Australia, semi rural with no street lights so pollution is pretty much 0 and the milky way looks like its falling ontop of you we have very clear nights

I also downloaded the free program Stellarium to try and familiarise myself with what i can see over this way.

Thanks in advance.

Chris

P.S i do have a camera tripod its just not a very fancy one
