What makes a pair of binoculars good for stargazing? First of all, they need to be the best binoculars for long distance viewing. This means they need large magnification and wide objective lenses so you get up close and clear images of the night sky. Can anything top these requirements? Yes, image stabilization which the Canon 18x50 IS UD have.

Large magnification binoculars tend to be heavy and it's hard to keep night sky views steady, unless you use a tripod. The addition of image stabilization on these Canon binoculars takes this problem away. While these are heavy and bulky binoculars, I still think they're a great option for stargazers and should be considered by anyone keen to get good views of the night sky, if their budget allows.
