Dennis I did something very similar - great pair of observers we are!

I got home from work around 11pm again, and after a very short delay to look upwards towards Jupiter & co I headed inside, only to be greeted by my girlfriend and my 2 very loyal and excited dogs. We all enjoyed a quick snack (milk and ginger nut biscuits all around actually!) before things settled down a bit. I ended up laying on my bed, looking upwards through the very top sliver of the window at the Moon and Jupiter while deciding whether to take the big dob outside or to just use the binos again.


The lack of sleep for several previous nights caught up with me such that the decision was never made and I awoke to full strong sunlight on my face around 10am or so! No Jupiter, no Moon, no Eta Aquarids but plenty of much needed sleep.
