Summer observing with an
astronomy binocular is a big trip down memory lane for me. I started getting serious about astronomy with binocular during the summer months longer ago than I care to admit, just as I learned how to use a
telescope during the summer months even longer ago than I care to admit.
Summer astronomy with a
binocular or a telescope is kind of an anniversary for me and the sound of crickets and bats darting overhead brings a smile to my face. Okay, I could do without the mosquitoes, but overall, summer is a fun time to observe. Just remember, it doesn't really get dark until the hour is late, so you may find that the time slips away. I can remember nights when the sky began to get light in the east before I called it quits. Yes, summertime and the astronomy is easy.
