Winter astronomy with binoculars

Yesterday's forecast for clear skies overnight came up empty, so no astronomy binoculars last night. Still, there is hope for this weekend for my Nikon astronomy binoculars, which, by now, may be feeling a bit neglected. Looks like we may get another chance to do some astronomy, this weekend, though temps are supposed to be around zero. To a gal who rides a bike in Chicago in the winter, that's mostly an issue of having plenty of hot chocolate on hand.

Joanie's tip for cold weather binocular astronomy: just make sure you use that binocular strap - it's too easy to drop a good binocular when wearing mittens.
