Get The Most Space

If you are just getting into astronomy the one thing you will quickly notice is the vastness of space. If you are learning the positioning of the planets and stars this can be a bit frustrating. For this reason, a big field of view can be an enormous help. Especially for beginners still trying to familiarize themselves with the major celestial sites. So you might want to start out with binoculars over telescopes. Most models offer wide field of views at reasonable prices. In comparison, there are only a handful of telescopes with that feature. Which of course makes them well out of the inexpensive universe.
