I'll second that.
The skies were freakishly nice last night. I went outside at around midnight and was surprised to see how clear it was. I went inside to grab my binoculars for a quick look and got some of the nicest views I've had of the star fields around Orion, Crux and Eta Carina. Jupiter was also a cracker, showing slight hints of banding in Canon 18x50 IS bino's. I've never been able to see any detail on Jupiter with them on other nights. I would have loved to take out the scope, but couldn't be bothered at that time of night. As it turned out, I stayed out there for more than an hour with the bino's.
