Refractor. Binoculars get tiresome but at least they are very good for a quick scan.... or lying in a banana chair to relax in the country and look at the star clusters with a sleeping bag... drifting off the sleep... I used to do that but was woken by the sound of mosquitoes in close proximity to my auditory inputs. Buy a good long focus 4-incher APO and ur set for life with the best money can buy, in terms of making the stars look relatively sharp, at decent value lol. That's what most astronomers end up with if they live long enough, IMO.
