New comet discovered that is already an easy object in amateur telescopes, and should brighten for the next 3 - 4 weeks. Get your binoculars and cameras ready.

I think I paid about $15 at a Goodwill for this pair of Sears, 7 x 50 binoculars on a whim to throw in my car. They're battered, heavy, and old, but they turned out to be the best sky watching binocs I've ever owned. Great for looking at the moon.

There's a juvenile #fox which has been hunting for mice in the patchily-snowy area visible from my #homeoffice for the last few days and my #binoculars are really giving me my money's worth.

Watching it run around, play with itself, crouch in waiting for mice, and then do the arched-back-up-and-snout-down jump only to learn that packed earth is harder than snow is a nice and relaxing distraction from our interesting times.
