I like looking at the moon with binoculars.

Last night I got a go on a 12 inch reflector telescope.

Coincidentally, last night I spend several hours collimating my 20x80 astronomical binoculars. Not an easy task but some 3D-printed alignment disks helped enormously.
Hopefully tonight isn't too cloudy for me to test them against the waning moon and, if it's still in view, Saturn.
