The bigger the lens, the more stars you will see. A 26mm or 32mm set is fine for day viewing. 42 mm is the "classic" for bird and wildlife observation. I have no idea why, but it is. You want to try for at least 50 mm for star gazing. I think that 50 mm is fine for wildlife, also, so that's what I got for myself. It's good in both situations without getting into the really high-priced stuff. I agree with Tom, but would add that the larger lens in front is better for night use, such as looking at stars.

The field-of-view (wide angle) is done with the internal optics. Good for dim light, night viewing. The large front lens is the objective lens, and large means more light, brighter image.
