For all those living in southwest Georgia and northeast Florida this evening might become a very special one. Because around 8:56 pm of their local time, they'll be able to see the Iota Cancri star blink out due to Xanthe asteroid passing in front of it.
This event is called an occultation. Asteroid's orbit passes right in front of a star, and the star appears to wink out or drop in brightness. Because asteroids are small, a specific occultation can only be seen along a narrow corridor.
Iota Cancri is a visible star, shining at magnitude of 4.2, so it means that it'll be easy visible from dark skies without even your observation binoculars. But if you live in a big city, you'll definitely need a pair of binoculars in order to see it more clearly.

Anyways, I hope you'll enjoy it tonight. Good luck!

Well, to tell you the truth, I don't know where it comes from, but I LOVE watching eagles in flight, they are so beautiful, and sometimes I even envy them thinking why people don't fly...

In order to better see them, you need to get a good clarity with the help of your birding binoculars. You'll need to go for at least 7x35 magnification, and you also need to be prepared to spend a good portion of money for the good pair of binoculars. That'll be only one part in order to reach your goal.
When you go to watch eagles or any other birds never wear white or bright colors, because it drives the birds off.
When you are in the process of looking for birds with your binocular, rise it to your eyes without moving your head.
When the trees leaf out, the only way to locate birds sometimes would be by their sounds.

So, there many tricks that you'll acquire when you start observing birds. This is one of the best hobbies that helps you relax and unites you with nature.

Good luck on your watch!
