looking to get started on a cheap journey and wanted a pair of binos that can see most common objects similar to a mid range telescope with my budget being 200 aud

I kept an eye out on Iceinspace for a pair of 2nd hand binos and eventually snapped a pair of 15x70s for like 150aud.
if you want to go that route.

I didnt end up liking them that much, couldn't hold them steady to make out much detail in anything to be honest. A cheap dob would absolutely be a better option for visual, if you see one pop up, in my opinion.

Even with a tripod adapter and tripod, its awkward to position, crane the neck, move it and every time you bump it, its wobbly AF

Yeah you can find a 5" or a 6" dob used for 200
