Observation 1

On Saturday night, October 22, from 8:00 to 11:00 I was outside on Siesta Beach observing the stars. I was able to see Delphinus and Job's coffin, the square of Ursa Minor (but not Polaris), and Aquila and Hercules. Throughout the night it was super easy to see Jupiter trace the path from east to west across the sky. Altair in Aquila was clear and bright, but I had a hard time finding Cygnus or the Northern Cross. For some reason Delphinus was the easiest one for me to spot, and I noticed it multiple times over the course of the night as the sky darkened. I looked for Polaris, but the handle of the dipper that it is a part of was obscured by light and trees.
