I was out last night too. With a pair of friends on one of their farms. We looked at the Orion Nebula, Saturn, the moon, the double cluster, M46, M35, M65 or M66, not sure which, but only one. And then M79, as well as several other easy to find open clusters. Then I tried to find Comet Lulin again. I think I did in my binoculars. However when I tried to find it again with my scope, I hit M67. I actually used Messier's list for its intended purpose, of avoiding non-comets. Before I could find it, my friends got cold, and we went in. It was a pretty good night, but I didn't realize how much the moon can grow in brightness in only two nights.
