Observation 2 27th Sept. 2012
At my house on the Island of Venice, I made the following observations at about 9:00.
The skies were mostly clear except for a few Cirrus clouds around the moon. Also, the baseball park near my house left their field-lights on so the stars to the south were not very visible.
I identified Sagittarius first by finding the teapot shape. Then, using my star app I found Arctures (also known as M5) and then the star Vega in Lyra. Scorpius was visible and using the app I identified Antares and Altair within it. Last, I found Andromeda. The moon was very close to full; the next full moon will be Sunday the 29th.
