I have to agree,
Mostly,
Binoculars Tend to be regarded as DAYTIME,Viewing Instruments,and MOST,people regard them as a poor Alternative to telescopes.
Personally,They are my 1st CHOICE.for Astronomy.
WHY?.
Well,for 1, they are lightweight,(usually).
2,
they often provide a wider FOV.
3,
You can pick up the tripod,with Binos,in 1 hand,and be outside,viewing,in seconds,
AND,if the clouds block your viewing for the night,you haven't wasted a lot of time setting up.
Simply pick them up,go inside, and
try again later.
BINOCULARS,DONT,do it all.
I am the first one to agree,with this.
IF,you want to look at Planets,IN ANY DETAIL,
FORGET BINOCULARS.
BUT,
if you want to look at the PLEIADES,for eg,15x70 Binoculars,will Blow away a Telescope,
NOT,in Magnification,
BUT,Because,you will see the whole thing.NOT,just SOME segments of it.
Just my 2 cents,
for anyone interested.(past experience,probably,no one)
Regards.
John
