What's the main reason for using binoculars rather than a monocular system? Is it because you get 2x the light without using larger optics? There is a "Binoculars vs Telescopes" table at the bottom of the page, but it doesn't provide any real details. The table appears to be comparing their system with a standard hobby telescope which is larger and bulkier. But I'm wondering why they don't sell half their kit at ~half the price.
Probably a combination of a few things, field of view, comfort in both neck position and eye strain, perhaps an ease of "looking at where you're aiming" too? This is from what I found from a few sites online, I do know that binoculars are recommended at beginner levels in astronomy, however medium-grade and higher levels probably use telescopes more.
As I've heard it described, your brain has an easier time putting what little light information is there into a coherent picture; particularly for faint objects
I have a telescope, as well as a pair of binoculars, and not only is it easier to just keep both eyes open, it feels more immersive in general
much easier for young kids to use
Field of View is larger so makes it easier to "sweep". Also feels much more natural for the eyes to process than a telescope view
Looks really cool. Though the idea of pointing a laser pointer up at the sky always spooks me. Make sure to check for planes on an ADSB website before firing it up.
