Haha What do you think they would sell for? Not that I want to at all but just curious?

What do you think of the below?

What do you mean? Take a shot down the larger end of the lenses? Sorry for my ignorance

Thankyou all for the responses. In amongst all of the bits was this mount below. Seems to fit well and if solid. I have ordered the book recommended above and am looking forward to having a play with the kit when I have a clear night. I have no experience with binoculars but a fair bit with cameras. The lenses have cleaned up well. One had some slight spores in the middle which came off with an alcohol wipe and cleaning cloth. Looking through them they seem spot on. I’m impressed with the sharpness of them and colour. For £50 including mount and tripod I’m very happy.

Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate some help. I have just bought these Orion 14x100 binoculars for £50 as a foot in the door into astronomy. I also bought a manfrotto 55c tripod and head. I would love to start looking into the sky. Is this a reasonable set up to do this? What is the best way to get started? Does anyone know the history of these binoculars. Receipt says they were purchased in 1992 in California
