Binoculars vs Astronomical Telescope, which is more practical?

Astronomical telescopes are more limited in their use, and their usual roles include

2) looking at the ground scene, usually birds and other wildlife, but usually also choose a small and portable and To be positive

3) used to pretend

So you can see, in addition to the third point, no matter which one requires a specific interest and certain skills, if not into the pit, or binoculars slightly more practical. But to be honest, I don't think binoculars are really useful in general life, it would be better to get a DSLR and a better telephoto lens (70-200)
