It's good to get the bins out now and again and have a scan around,

Cassiopeia is so good you can spend some time observing that area,

M52 is a nice open cluster, the Andromeda Galaxy is always a great

target to find, I find bins more relaxing than the scope, sit back unwind

and enjoy.

I enjoy looking around this region with bins also - so many stars. Have a look at Auriga - some lovely binocular messier clusters their to.

Yep , had a good hour between the scuttling clouds. Did a bin tour to a friend. Albireo up to Deneb, then onto Cassiopeia, The Double Cluster and M31. We saw M13 and down to CrB.

All this will a Moon and clouds. It was very relaxing just to scan the star fields from Cygnus northwards,
