Binoculars are often overlooked by new astronomers because when they think about astronomy, they automatically think about telescopes. In reality, binoculars have an important place in stargazing, and many astronomers always bring them along. In fact, I always bring my pair along with me and use it interchangeably during a night out in the field. In this video, I highlight the 5 advantages of binoculars over telescopes: 1. Small & Lightweight 2. Easy to Transport 3. You Might Have One 4. Less Expensive 5. Easier to Find Objects If you have anything else you'd like to add, please add them to the comments section below. Clear skies and thanks for watching! Link to my Nikon Action 8x40 binoculars: http://amzn.to/1MJGjDr
