Refractor telescope or reflector telescope?

For land use the binocular is definitely your best choice, because it will show an upright image. The binocular will work well in the sky too, especially for many deep sky objects like nebulae and galaxies. For small objects like planets where you want higher magnification, a true astronomical telescope would be better, but that would be less useful for looking at things on the ground due to the inverted (upside down) image it would give.
