7x50s are traditional marine/astronomical binoculars. They are about as big as you can get, without getting too heavy to comfortably hold. I use mine to stargaze/satellite gaze fairly regularly.

Although, for daytime observation, 7x35s should be just fine.



Binoculars with image stabilization can render a still field at 15x magnification without being much heavier than those without IS. I bought these ten years ago: worth the $$$ https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/products/d...
