Bino vs tele

Dear members, I have an inexpensive pair of Bushnell 10x50s and a rather more expensive c925 evolution.
Sagittarius is just beautiful at the moment, almost overhead in the late evening. I can snaffle with ease (and awe) m22, m8 and m20 with the bins, but very little with the telescope: tried a variety of Mags with and without a reducer.....m22 and m20 are nigh on impossible to see in the telescope.

.....why is this? I live in Darwin....Equatorial, currently dry season, so little humidity and relatively dark skies (the Milky Way is apparent within a minute of stepping outside)....what's wrong with my scope? Or is it me

Cheers and looking forward to some insight.
