    A hand-held pair such as 10×50, and a tripod-mounted pair such as 15×70 or 20×80. Get the smaller pair first and get some experience learning the sky before investing in a larger pair.

    Personally, when doing binocular observing (under light-polluted skies) I will use a pair of 15×70 hand-held (not everyone can adaquately hand-hold binoculars of this size and magnification) along with a tripod-mounted pair of 25×100 binos. But you need a beefy mount/tripod for such a pair, which is an additional expense.
