I did a little bit of wide field observing tonight, but stayed home

Here is a self timed photo that I took.

You can see I'm looking up through some small binoculars. M45 looks almost like a Christmas tree ornament. It is above the tree in a nearby yard. Jupiter is much lower in this photo. The bright object low to the left of the tree.

I'm hoping to do astronomy solar observing at Hfcc tomorrow, so I didn't open up tonight. Clouds were out earlier but the skies looked nice around midnight. Hopefully we will have clear skies for solar tomorrow at Hfcc.
