Observations 9-15

8 PM-10 PM

Sitting in my backyard, I noticed Scorpio (recognized the triangular tail with three stars along the stinger's "hypotenuse"), Sagittarius (calculated where to look for Sagittarius, and recognized the teapot), and Jupiter (noticed an extremely bright "star" that was nearly at opposition to the sun and was clearly not part of any constellation).  When I looked at the Moon, I noticed it was just past first quarter, and beginning to wax its way towards a full moon.
