Also, in the morning, to the east southeast I can see with my eyeballs (from the top right to the bottom left) Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars. Mars is close and just below Saturn and to the left in the pic below.
Venus in the Pleiades tonight!

If there were eight chicks, I'd give it a look!
I remember the Josie and the Pussycats cartoon ...what tails they had!
And cute ears too.
Cat ears.
I'm digging myself in deeper here ... Dave, why you do that!?!

Yes, for the predawn people!
I will get up that early for certain things: Orion in summer, six-minute ISS passes, etc.

Had a look at a 2 min pass of the ISS at twilight a couple weeks ago! I don't have binocs, so last night's view was of Venus setting in the west. I'll give it another look tonight.
It's a gift.

I never miss a six-minute pass in the PM.
Binocs don't help much; maybe with color - you can see the ISS (International Space Station) turn from gold, to orange and red, usually, before fading.

It is very clear here in Michigan tonight. We had a beautiful day. My son rode his electric long board for about 5 miles total, he has no fever, I have no symptoms, neither does the War Department. I am a blessed man.Here you go:

Ok. Clouds, clouds, I almost gave up.
One last look and there it was!
Beautiful. Like that top illustration, Venus moved that much in a day.

Yes, the eyepiece is about half of it!
Have seen Starlink trains three times now. Actually worth getting up at 4:30 am for!

My old Minolta 7 x 50 XL's are getting to heavy for me to lug around. Any suggestions in the 8 x 32, 10 x 30, 10 x 42 range? The last time I was in the market Zeiss and Doctor's were the top tier brands.

They still are! And way out of my reach. The Oberwerks are affordable, but large.
See the Leupold Yosemite, small but good quality.
