2 eyes is better than one for scanning the heavens in my opinion.
Id ALWAYS choose binos over a spotting scope for this particular usage.
For daytime terrestrial viewing, i just might be willing to give a good spotting scope a try!

I use my Denk II binoviewer in my small and large scopes for both astro and daytime use when I want higher power than my binoculars.
