Hi Jason,
I actually have a pair of 18X80s which I hand hold. And I have a pair of 15X50 Pentaxs which I can only hand hold providing I have them attached to a tripod to give them some extra weight.

So I know how much better the Canon 15X50 ISs are than the Pentax 15X50s. Thus I suspect I would be really wowed by image stabilised 18X80s.

A small telescope is good. But I'm not that fond of binoviewers on telescopes, and I have two of them.

Regards,
Renato
