I am looking into a buying Astronomical Binoculars, I saw this one set…
http://www.opticsale.com/galileo-15×70-astronomical-binoculars.html
which I thought was the perfect buy. But I have two questions…
1) Do you think you would be able to use this without a tripod?
2) Is this a good choice of binocular?
This would help a great deal! Thanks alot!

Ok the thing is i really want a telescope that can make me see the planets,important stars,constellations and other universal objects.Every time i go out and look at the stars,i feel so lost because i don’t know how to locate any constellations,planets or other objects.I feel like a complete dummy and i want to discover what is out here.It looks amazing and i am sure if i knew more about it,it would even be more amazing and not as vague as i always think it is.So should i make my own telescope/binocular or buy this telescope.Plus can binoculars be an alternative to telescopes.
This is the telescope i have decided to buy.It is cheap compared to others.It costs like 202 dollars plus what do u think of it from the description.

I want to get some astronomical binoculars. I had this pair picked out:http://www.telescope.com/control/product…
I liked these because the magnification isn’t too high where I would have to put it on a tripod all the time. Although there would be times where I would put it on a tripod. After doing a little more research, I came across these binoculars:http://www.telescopes.com/binoculars/ast…
Now, I understand that with these binoculars I will pretty much always have to have them on a tripod. But these are only $100 more than the other ones, comes with a tripod, and has some really good user reviews.
I have never used binoculars for astronomy before, so my question is this: Will buying the larger binoculars give me dramatically better views than the smaller ones? If so, is it worth it not to be able to just hold them in your hand?
