...smaller , lower magnification , wider field BINOCULARS serve to COMPLEMENT their larger brethren , rather than COMPETE with them .
I'm certainly sold. It's also helping me learn more of the night sky and increasing the number of objects I can hop to in my scope.
As an example, I was able to find the Andromeda Galaxy with the binoculars and it looks wonderful with all the stars around it. Then, becuase the binoculars helped me find it in the sky, I was actually able to spot it naked eye. Throughout the week, I kept looking up and finding it. Really helps connect to the universe up there.
Now that I'm back home in Manhattan, I look up and can just barely see the stars in Cassopeia, but I know where M31 is hiding behind the light pollution.
