The night sky is being lost to the light pollution these days
But get out of the city and find a good dark location, sit back and look in awe at the heavens…if the clouds ever move that is

Your suggestion regarding binoculars is good advice, but it is interesting how much there is to see out there without any lenses at all. It takes a lot of ‘hands-free’ stargazing to get to know the sky well and this book is a solid guide if that is your plan. It happens to be the cheapest form of astronomy also, which is worth bearing in mind at times like these!

There is some really good star gazing with or without binoculars. I agree start simple and work your way up to a telescope. Watch out for the cheapies though.
