Wish upon a ... binocular galaxy

Still waiting for a clear sky to do some binocular astronomy, though the forecast suggests, at least, that I may get a peek at the stars over the next few days. My first targets of interest will be spring galaxies, as this is the challenge I set for myself here in the Chicago suburbs. No, I don't expect much of a wow in terms of image quality or detail, even with my excellent Nikon 10x70 Astroluxe binocular, but I will definitely be getting a very big WOW for every galaxy I can add to my binocular list. Just seeing a galaxy under these light polluted skies will be a real treat. Can't wait for the fun to begin.
