10x50 binoculars and a star chart to help you find your way around the sky. Still keen? Then look at getting a telescope big enough to show you objects but small enough to be portable.

First get some books on stargazing when you just start you don't need a
telescope. Learn the names of the bright stars and the constellations. |
