Observation 2

This observation, on October 23, was the one at school from 8:00 to 10:00. The sky was perfectly clear to start off, with light thin clouds rolling in toward the middle but not interfering too much. This time I found Polaris, and from that Cepheus and Casseopeia. I was also able to see the constellation Sagittarius for the first time, which was admittedly pretty cool. I didn't realize the teapot would be so big either, or the square of Pegasus. The Andromeda galaxy we saw was interesting on a conceptual basis, definitely worth the look. Jupiter seemed higher on the horizon earlier as well.
