Telescopes & Binoculars

Is not a binocular two telescopes side by side? Would there be any
advantage having two telescopes side by side to view the heavens?
(cost twice as much) Telescopes came befor binoculars. The Chinese
invented the glass lenses(eye glasses) How about the laser can it fit
somewhere in light from far away stars to intensify this light? Our
lasers some day will give us total realistic images. That will come
after flat TV screens,for the science to create TV 3D is already here.

Some people like em. There are also binoviewers, where you have one
telescope and two eyepieces -

Of course - you have to have one telescope before you can have two!

Non Sequitur.

No. You use a CCD camera or photomultiplier to do that.

Well I like binoculars. They are easy to carry. On my vacation to the
mountains of Massachusetts I lied on my back on top of Mt Tom and saw
nothing(all heavy clouds and rain) Anyway I did not have to carry a
heavy large telescope.. My feft eye is much better than my right eye,and
with binoculars I can have perfect vision. Someday we will have a
constant TV viewing of the universe(tapping into the great telescopes.
It will be on channel 1 All the ammature viewing will be with
binoculars or with far viewing cameras. If I can't view the stars lying
on my back I'll see them on TV like the big name astronomers do. Bert

Good luck carrying these on your back:

Or if that's too teensy for you. One of these can be
had for $80 million or so:

Large astrononimcal binoculars are usually mounted so you don't have to
lie on your back. See:

Hi Llanzian Thanks for those sites. Did not know they made binoculars
so big. Seems binoculars have good viewing qualities. Would be a nice
Christmas gift it they made cheap binoculars for viewing planets like
Mars,Jupiter,and Saturn. Having a wider view than a single
telescope has its advantages. Bert PS If they made them to be carried
like a back pack
