You just point the binoculars skyward. But you need a very steady hand for this.
You can see down to magnitude 6 with "naked eye" astronomy.
Binoculars take you to about magnitude 9.
That means you can see a lot more stars, nebulae and so on.

How apart from magnification do binoculars help you see better?
Yes they do. The important feature is diameter of the front lenses, these collect more light than you can get in through the unaided pupil of your eye. Therefore binoculars gather more information about what you are looking at than your eye can and you can see things with them that the unaided eye can not see. To test this go out on a clear night and point your binoculars at the sky, they will show you stars that you can not see without them. However, this light gathering power means you MUST NEVER try and look at the Sun though binoculars, if yo do so you will immediately be blinded.
