Tonight, having finished the long drive home from Niagara Falls, slowly I turned to the sky to see that it was clearer than has been usual this late summer. It is the time of year that two objects I had yet to add to my Binocular Messier list were well placed in the sky, just rising above the roof of my house from my back yard. So, I added observations of M33 and M34 to the list, for a total of 44 (out of 50 needed).  M33, the Triangulum Galaxy, is a spiral galaxy. Some have seen it with the naked eye (I have not from Bowie), making it perhaps the farthest object visible with the naked eye. M34 is an open cluster, a little larger than many (and thus, its stars can be resolved easily).
