Default Insomniac observing

I found myself wide awake at 0530 this morning, and
figured I might as well go out and have a look...

The sky is *just* starting to brighten about then,
so I didn't take my telescope out. Just my binoculars.

The sky was what you would get in the early evening
in January. The Pleides were putting on a great show,
due south. Orion was high in the southeast, with
Sirius sparkling below. Saturn was prominent in
the middle of Gemini, and I saw Jupiter through a
gap in the trees, right next to Regulus, my first
sighting since May. I know where Mercury would have
been, but my eastern horizon is not Mercury-friendly.
