While IDing constellations overhead, we saw a long meteor! Heading north-north-west, it started near Lyra and slipped into Draco. Best one I've seen in a long time.
Rhonda asked earlier about the equilateral triangle overhead. I misidentified it as part of Boötes; it was the chest of Hercules.
Found the Coathanger with the Bushnell binoculars. Also checked the Double Double. No sign of The Ring at 7x. Viewed omicron 1 and 2, splitting 2 and 30 Cygni.
The Moon had dipped below the trees. Just past First Quarter.
Antares was shimmering.
Spotted Saturn through the tree, south-south-west. It was not round in the bins but I could not see Titan.
The mozzies were bad.
The fire was nice.
