OK guys, y'all have been so much help so far, thank you! I'm going to try to see if my local college or library has a telescope (not likely but hey), but I'm going to buy some binoculars anyway. Could y'all help me pick? I have picked ones that have a 50mm aperture or better (I think). Btw, if you put a link for me, I have looked at it, thanks. I haven't found anything closer than 2hr in the tri state area. I'm still looking for "star parties" in the area. Anyway, these may be completely wrong for this, but here are some I've been eyeing:

(I know these first two are monoculars not binoculars, but they just seemed neat. The first one has some good reviews I read somewhere else, I just picked one of the same model with a tripod and stuff. I also worried that because my kid has glasses it would be better if i could use my phone to enhance the image, if thats possible in this situation)
