Observation 1.1

Date: September 8, 2007
Time: 8:45-10:00
Place: US 41
Conditions: Clear sky

Planets: I was able to identify Jupiter which was in the southwest, in the constellation of Ophiuchus. I think I also saw Venus above the moon to the right.

Stars: I was able to identify Polaris and Antares

Constellations: The constellation of Cygnus was visible as well as Sagittarius

Moon: The moon was waning crescent

Other: The sky was pretty clear and from my location there were ALOT of stars in the sky. On September 9th I had to wake up early so before dawn I was able to see Mars which was very high in the sky and in the east were two stars very close together.
