Jupiter and the Milky Way were glorious last night.

We looked at for the first time last night in 10x50 binocs (heavy light pollution in SoCal) and it was more visible than anticipated as we have an OK NW exposure here. Got the small scope out and it looked great at 15X!

And Jupiter's moons are always visible in binocs if you can keep them steady and it's not too close to the horizon. Well, unless a couple are hiding behind or in front of Jupiter of course.

This is a good time to have Image Stabilization on those binocs …

I can't do it, those Canons are magic but just way too expensive. I have a tripod binoc mount and long eye relief binocs and that's good enough for me.
