Moving past full moon, now, so time for summer observing with the
astronomy binocular or
telescope. I do love summer astronomy, but it tends to keep me up late, especially since the lights of a nearby tennis court don't go off till 10:00 PM. Just another headache we urban astronomers have to endure, I guess. Still, it is fun watching the
bats dip into the light beams over the tennis court to catch insects. Not as much fun as seeing my beloved open star clusters in a
binocular or
telescope, but the bats are not complaining.
