I imagine a lot of us were out late last night getting in what observing we could. As a inexperienced observer, as much as I wanted to go for gold, I stuck with two simple targets I should be able to see before midnight (work day today). I managed to identify and observe the Reflection and Orion nebulae using 7x40 binoculars and my 5" newtonian. Even managed a reasonable snapshot with my mobile phone of the Reflection nebula stars (no detail really, just the stars). I was fascinated with just roaming the skies with the binoculars. Made me realise I need to get a star atlas or two. Hopefully tonight will be just as cloudless.
