2.1x42 in bino mount

Spent a little while tonight with the Vixen 2.1x42 on the binocular mount.  There were high thin clouds, some in long rollers visibly passing through the sky like Pacific waves underneath the moon.  I tried to imagine the clouds were interesting nebulousness...  I could see enough to confirm I can use the mount with these binos too.  Having them steady while trying to focus helps a lot.  And it's always a treat to see Orion head to toe, Betelgeuse to Rigel.  And the Pleiades and Hyades in the same FOV.  Tried to see the comet 46p but no luck.  These will be great to use during the next great comet, whenever it should come.
