Anyone have suggestions on steadying a pair of 20 x 50mm binoculars without a tripod?

I am getting a pair of 20 x 50mm binoculars hoping it would function as both outdoor binoculars for hiking and beginner astronomy. But I've been reading that it could shake a lot without a tripod. So is there a way I can minimize the shaking without taking a tripod or a stabilizing frame with me? Has anyone experimented with holding it with a towel, leaning against a tree, or something like that to minimize the normal quivering? Thanks.

They are expensive and heavy, but worth it. Image stabilized binoculars are a far better way to go than getting 20x50's. 20x50's are way to powerful (magnification) for general astronomy usage. Depending on the type of hiking your doing, you would want to lower your weight load as much as possible too.

However, other options for holding the binos stable would include would include using a hiking monopole that has a adapter for mounting cameras or binos.

And as you stated leaning against a stable object helps and also holding the by their objective lens (mounting), not at the eyepiece end.
