Making it into our best binoculars and best binoculars for kids guides, the Canon 10x42L IS WP binoculars are a fantastic pair of binoculars, offering excellent optics, generous eye relief (for eyeglasses wearers) and image stabilization to keep views of the stars and night sky stable. Although this quality does cost, and normally these binoculars would set you back $1559. However, this Black Friday the Canon 10x42L IS WP binoculars are only $1235 at Newegg.

In our review of the Canon 10x42L IS WP binoculars, we praised their ability to perform well in low-light conditions and to give bright, high-resolution images during our stargazing sessions. Awarding them 5 out of 5 stars, we also found the image stabilization performed well and, when holding the binoculars steady without constantly moving around, you'll be treated to unbelievably sharp views of the night sky. Amazon's listing is still at the full price of $1559, so we recommend you grab them at Newegg while stocks last.

You won't be disappointed with the views through these binoculars, where the gyroscope motion sensors detect how much movement there is and actuators then counteract the wobble up to an angle of 0.8 degrees. This will leave you with steady views of the stars and moon, and beyond. However, the image stabilization does require 3xAAA batteries.
Not only this, but eyeglasses wearers will also find these comfortable to use as they offer eye relief of 16mm. The twist-up eyecups also help to block out external lights, allowing for a more immersive stargazing experience.
If these binoculars are still a bit too pricey for you, you could try the Celestron UpClose G2 10x50 binoculars. We gave them 4.5 out of 5 stars in our review, suggesting they'd suit anyone wanting to start stargazing. Of course, as they are cheaper, you will be sacrificing the image stabilization that comes with more premium binoculars.
