I think we all use a "monocular" before to find object... that call a finder scope... ha ha ha Anyway, the type of monocular you mention are not so popular because it not as comfortable and also smaller aperture than most binocular.So is it advisable to ob with monoculars? Anyone done this before? any side effects on the eyes?
Binocular give large FoV, but not so large that you can see the whole constellation with it... constellation bigger than most of us thought... We usually use binocular to look for "missing" stars in the constellation which "hidden" by the light pollution or use it to scan the sky and find objects.I do understand that Bino gives a wider FOV i.e i could see the entire constellation thru a bino but have not yet tried obbing with a bino...
Anyway, I have a binocular that I seldom used... the last time I used it was... err... can't remember You can loan it if you like to try out a binoculars.
Have a nice day.
