A bit repetitive, but I always have my 10x50's with me when I use my telescope. The other night I had a guest over and we looked at Jupiter and several "showpiece" double stars with the 3.5", which I usually use when the moon is bright. When we were finished I just sat in a lawn chair with binoculars for over an hour scanning the Milky Way. I also wanted to see Chi Cygni, which was easy to find. It was hard to put the binoculars away for the night. My dog is always with me and, although he doesn't look through the binos, he loves to be out at night and "help" me with my viewing.
