I have binoculars for star observations to make sure that it's not just a passing fad before buying a $1000 telescope. $25 and well worth it.
It's been a few years since I checked prices, but one thing you can get is a binocular eyepiece addon that provides stereoscopic views of the sky. For only $300.
Most of their stuff has an attachment for a tripod adapter (there's is $15) too, which I always like when stargazing with others, then I can fix on the target just like I would with a telescope.
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

I was, naturally, interested in seeing it. Clouds thwarted my plans.

You'd be suprised how much you can see with "ordinary" binoculars.

Likely wise, though it also reminds me of one those expensive addons I mentioned.
