Observations

11/6/10
I went out into my backyard and managed to find quite a few things!
There was some light pollution due to the street lamps out front, but overall the stargazing wasn't too bad.
Summer Triangle
Altair
Cepheus(?)
Sagittarius
Vega

I was at a friend's house on Siesta Key and we decided to go to the beach. There's more time for stargazing now that it gets dark earlier! I managed to see the northern cross in Cygnus and I found this by first locating the summer triangle and looking for Deneb. The summer triangle isn't that hard to spot so it's a great marker for locating other constellations in the sky! I also managed to spot Hercules and Aquila.
