Bought myself a new pair of binoculars. My old 15x70’s, which I’ve had for many years, were a little worn out. They were also quite heavy handheld. These are just right but arrived showing double images. A quick trip to YouTube and now they perform flawlessly.

If you want to keep your telescope/camera gear clean of dust I highly recommend getting yourself one of these devices (shown with eyepiece for scale).
These air blowers can give you a gentle blow or a full on gale.
Also ideal for blowing water off your freshly washed mirrors.
