Observations

March 15th, 2010 11:58
Location: The moon was not visible in the sky tonight. It was completely dark, making it apparent that there was a new moon out tonight.
Description: The fact that there was a new moon tonight made it easier for me to identify some constellations and see some nice stars from the streets of my neighborhood. I was able to identify the constellations of cancer and canis Minor. I used the star lab we received and I may have been mistaken, but I was able to see the stars out.
Weather: The night was almost cloudless that night. It was a bit windy, but it was a warmer night then the other days that I tried to observe the sky.

Location: While I was going outside to get my backpack out of my car I was able to observe the night sky for about 30 minuets, unfortunately. There was a new moon, so I was able to record some very interesting observations.
Description: The new moon gave me the opportunity to observe vela, cancer, and lynx. Theses constellations where easier to identify based on the general location that was researched after I was outside for an excited period of time.
Weather: The whether was very similar to the night before when I was observing. The temperature was warmer outside, despite the light wind. The sky was bright enough from the stars for me to make accurate observations.

Location: The moon was located high in the sky in the northern part of the night sky. Tonight there was a full moon, which made observing stars difficult due to the brightness.
Description: The moon was very beautiful tonight. I was outside for about an hour. The moons features were very nice, and I felt that the sky was very inviting for observing. I felt as if I could see all of the moons craters and features as it stood very high in the sky.
Weather: The temperature was very inviting. It was a little cold, due to the wind. The clouds were visible and at times would cover the moon, but for the most part the clouds would drift away and I was able to see the beautiful moon. The was an enjoyable observation session. I even attempted to take a photo f the moon tonight.

Location: The moon was a Maxing Gibbous tonight. It stood towards the middle of the sky.
Description: The moon in the sky is almost a full moon. However, the waxing gibbous was still too bright for me to make any accurate observations of the stars. I am almost sure I saw the north star. I was a nice night, so I was able to look up at the moon and its shape for about 30 minuets.
Weather: The weather is getting warmer progressively through out my observations. It was windy, but not enough to cause a hassle when I was recording. The clouds posed very little of an issue. There was cluds, but they seemed to avoid the moon all together.

Location: tonight there was a new moon. The location of the moon is therefore not possible to present. The location of the constellations on the other hand was something that was easy based on the perfect condition of the sky.
Description: The night was a great place for me to observe the constellations of leo and ursa major. The sky offered me a great deal of observation time. I spent about an hour and a half while I observed and walked my dogs. It was very enjoyable, and it was rather easy for me to spot these constellations due to the fact that I knew where they were generally located in the sky.
Weather: the night was fairly cloudy when I was outside, but I was still able to observe the constellations that I recorded. The temperature was warm, and was not as windy as my previous observation encounters.
