IceAngel : It's a pair of mini-gant 80mm binoculars. Imagine putting two 80mm Refractors together and looking thru them at the same time on the same object 8)
This will be excellent for those who are commited to binocular astronomy and wish to upgrade from their standard 50mm's, or for those who own a scope and want to have it as a secondary quick-peek instrument.
But for you as a very enthusiastic beginner, it's fixed magnification of 20x may not allow you to grow much with it and will restrict you to just very general visual work on most deep sky objects.

oh i see... i have dug my bino out this morning and found that it is a Tasco 7x35mm bino... so is that enough for a beginner like me to spot for stars first??
