Hi Barb and Dave,
Good to see you back on the scene.
I can recommend the generic 15x70 chinese binocs you see all around. They are hand-holdable( for a limited time) and provide a reasonable exit pupil size for us over 30's. 20x80's will probably need to be mounted - without a dedicated parallelogram mount this can be a real pain in the neck on a standard photo tripod.
I used to use my AOE 15x70's reclining on a sun lounger - beautiful almost 3D views of the milky way...you may need to buy 2 binoculars and loungers!
All the best
Doug
