Wondering if its worth getting a binoviewer and what objects really stand out in particular with them?
Thanks,

I use the binos on Planets and the Moon mostly. Its more relaxing, for me, to sit and look with two eyes. I compared binos with 15mm GSO Superview eyepieces and various Barlows to Pentax XW 10 7 5 and 3.5mm eyepieces for quite a long time (months) and came to the conclusion the Binos were better on Solar system and bright DSO's. I sold the XW's and haven't missed them at all.
Bright DSO's include the Orion Nebula, Carina Nebula, Globs, open star clusters etc.
For dimmer DSO's mono is better.
