Thinking of trying astronomy out as a hobby but don’t want to shell out big $$$ for a telescope? Try some binoculars. A reasonable pair of binoculars lets you see the 4 large moons of Jupiter, will make out Saturn’s rings and the brighter deep space objects.
@evilscientistca two questions: do you need a tripod or some other stabilizing system? How do you find Jupiter or Saturn?
@Kryten A tripod helps. You can get adapters to hook binoculars up to a regular photographic tripod for under $30. A link to a star chart for the current month is about halfway down the page on http://calgary.rasc.ca
