For binos I would go for something like 10x50.

When I was a 'nipper' (8 or so) I got the Astro bug and asked my Dad for a
telescope for Xmas. He asked an astromoner friend of his what scope was best
to get a youngster...the bugger said a pair of 8x40's. I was gutted, I
wanted a 'proper' telescope!!!! Looking back though, it was a good decision!

At that age, bino's let you learn the sky the easy way, just can pan around
the sky until you find something interesting and then look it up in a book
and go 'WOW'.

I've never looked back.......
