We all develop daily routines, sometimes by default and sometimes by design. One of the things that I do by design when night falls, weather and sky permitting, is to end my day out on the apartment patio with my
astronomy binocular. Sometimes I get involved in an
astronomy project and put in a couple of hours of serious observing, but most evenings it's a more casual - just me saying thank-you to Earth Mother for another wonderful day and honoring the sky and stars above with a quick peek or two through the
binocular. A
binocular is the perfect instrument for me in that it is simple, quick and easy to use and, when you make it a quality binocular like the
Nikon 10x70 Astroluxe, it's also a real treat. Nothing like going to bed with a smile on your face.
