Thanks for your considered reply. I was hoping to replace the binos with a low power spotting scope - maybe like the celestron hummingbird 56ED w/9-27x Zoom. Can you tell me a little more about why the spotting scope is too difficult to use hand-held? Is there something about the nature of the way a pair of binoculars is held that lends more stability?

Best,

Markus
