Nice view of Jupiter and moons from balcony (15x70 celestron skymaster binolculars... heavy beast). Saturn is neaby too but too hard to get a good view due to shakiness and turbulence. I bet I’d see at least an elongated smear with a tripod, though not resolve rings.

Feeling oddly more cheerful and calmer thanks to my binocular astronomy session tonight. I’d forgotten the feeling. The last time I had a favorable home-based observing situation was 1990. Since then either obstructions or light pollution or cloudy/bad weather has interfered

I’ve misplaced my tripod adapter for the binoculars in the move though

I have an 8" reflector with an onboard database and clockdrive. It's a magnificent 'scope but an ill thought-out purchase. I live in a lot of light pollution and don't escape it enough to give the telescope some real use.

Sadly the case in much of the US. The best conditions are far from cities
