Why would you use binoculars as star spotters?

Spotting The Hot Spots

Even if you are a more serious astronomer that owns a topnotch telescope that doesn't mean binoculars won't come in handy. Binoculars are designed closer to the way we see things. Plus, smaller pairs are handheld. These two features make this the optimal device for being a spotter. Say you want to look at certain constellation with your telescope. The problem is you only have a general idea where it is. This is the situation where binoculars work the best. Since they offer a larger field of view it will take you less time to scan the area. Plus, you don't even need to spend time setting up a tripod since you're not making any detailed observations.
