Same scenario, great weather forecast, but constant low clouds moving through after dark. This time, I went straight for the binoculars.

Observations (12x70 binoculars):

• M35 (Open Cluster) - Gemini

• M44 (Beehive Cluster) - Cancer (intersection of Regulus-Pollux and Procyon-Algenubi)

• M36, 37(Open Clusters) - Auriga - missed M38 because of house / clouds

• Tried locating/seeing NGC 3148 (galaxy) - Ursa Major - but gave up because of clouds
