I've recently been reading some astronomy guides and they say if you are just starting out, rather than jump in and buy a telescope, that you should start off with a cheap pair of binoculars, around the 50mm lens mark.

I have found some binoculars on ebay for cheap, they are called "Mystery" binoculars.

The specs are as follows -

» Multi-coated optics for superior light transmission

» Reliable, fog-free performance

» Non-slip rubber armor absorbs shock while providing a firm grip

» Large center focus knob for easy, precise adjustments

» Longer eye relief

» Ideal for water sports, out door activities, bird watching, walking, climbing, travel

» Supplied boxed with carry case, lenscloth & neckstrap

» Dimensions (approx):L = 135mm W = 75mm H = 50mm

» Magnification :65x

» Ocular Lens Aperture :15mm

» Objective Lens Aperture :42mm

» buy pills online without prescription Weight :330 G

» Focus System: Center

» Field 12° 399/5000M

Does anybody know of this brand? Are they worth using just to start out? Do the specs sound good?

Im a true beginner in this and just want something to check out the stars and the moon, before i jump in and buy a scope.

Thanks in advance.
