Observation 6

East Laurel Road
Clear dark skies with minimal clouds and a waning gibbous moon

Clearly in the north-east I noticed the big dipper, Ursa Major, inverted in the morning sky. Later this evening I also saw The Great Square of Pegasus, high overhead, nearby what I think were a few bright stars from Cassiopeia. The bright moon made most observation almost impossible, as only a few of the brightest stars in the sky were visible.

This morning I saw the moon very near what looked like an extremely bright star. That star was not a star, but the planet Jupiter which was at its closest point to the moon.
