When we use binoculars, we re kind of a four-eyes, aren t we. There are a lot of issues when it comes to choosing binoculars for bird watching.
The same problem is faced while using telescopes hence many people prefer binoculars instead of monoculars or telescopes. Will you be hunting, whale watching, or watching birds, or looking for a pair of military binoculars. With a cheap telescope, this will be of no use to you, as it will be hard to keep up.
A telescope allows the universe to come to you, in other words objects of long distance come closer, while a microscope puts small objects to become bigger so you can see. When you are attempting a close up view of an object in the far distance, a very slight movement on your end translates into a big change in the area being viewed at the other end. In the event of an accident, you will be glad that you chose rugged and waterproof binoculars.
The image is also duller when the magnification is greater then ten. Magnification is not the best way of choosing a telescope, as a clear image is more important then simply magnification. So unlike ordinary day light binoculars the range for night ones is not that extended.
You will also need to buy an atlas of the sky suited for astronomy, and a guide. Bird watching has been around for many centuries and will probably be around many more.
