I did it again - I fell asleep in bed reading a book and then awoke around midnight to discover the sky was clear and full of stars. What a great night with the
astronomy binocular! To all my friends out west who pity me for lack of a good sky, just want you to know that I am still able to some binocular
astronomy, here in the
light polluted city. Just a matter of selecting objects that are available, even under conditions of heavy light pollution. Open star clusters and double stars have been my mainstay deep-sky objects for
binoculars, here in the Chicago suburbs. Had fun last night with both. Hope you all got out and did some astronomy, too.
