A scope funnels photon trains directly from a celestial object to your eyeball and your brain. You are connected - literally (albeit One Way) - to the heavenly body.
Touching and guiding the scope connects your body to the sky. It deepens the experience.
Great for beginners, great for experienced observers. Great for the wallet.
Maybe tough on your back. Very bad for the overhead bin in an airplane.
