If you’ve been wondering how long the day on Uranus is, you probably need to get out more.

Great opening sentence.

Seems like you’re on the west coast (USA). Me too.

I’m hoping I get to duck out for a bit and take it all in after bedtime and chores. I won’t be able to pull out a telescope tonight, but sometimes binoculars surprise me.

You probably won’t see much in terms of globular clusters in binos. I feel like you should be able to resolve the Leo triplet in them, though I expect it would be a challenge. Probably your best bet is the beehive cluster in Cancer, which should be near the Zenith, the little beehive cluster in Canis Major, and some of the easier double stars (the second star out from the cup on the handle of the big dipper- mizar and alcor- is great) and the Orion belt stars. Good luck!
