A Big Ol' Chunk of Observations
I'm just going to write about all the observations I did this month, using handwritten notes, so there aren't like 9 entries in a row.
December 11- Orion is freaking huge in the sky. Not so much physically large, but it's ridiculously bright and probably the most recognizable thing in the sky right now. Cassiopeia's "W" thing is pretty easy to find too, but suburban light really makes it hard to see anything else very well.
December 13- Went out of the way to find a place without much light. Since I'm in North Port, all I have to do is head south until I'm in Redneckland. Orion and Cassiopeia were easy to find again, and I'm pretty sure I saw the square of Pegasus. I can really see how it's a flying horse now. Oh wait. I lied.
December 16- With the help of our star charts I think I found a bunch more stuff this time. Both the Canis constellations were visible unless I'm startarded, along with Andromeda and Perseus. A bit later I think I could see Cepheus as well, as long as we're talking about "star-opera" characters.
December 23- All that is written for this entry is "STARS + CHRISTMAS LIGHTS = THIS WAS A SHITTY IDEA"
December 27- This was the last night i could really observe anything before midnight because of volunteer work, and I didn't really see anything particularly special. The moon's either at first or third quarter (note- it's first quarter), and Orion's just doing his "I'm the brightest motherf***er in the sky" thing. I found Taurus I think, which is cool becuase I rarely discern any zodiacal constellations. Other than that it was mostly space opera constellations.
