8 PM-10 PM
Tonight I got a guided tour of most of the skies at a very dim location, ignoring the nearly full moon overhead. I was able to locate the Summer Triangle (Altair in the Eagle constellation, Vega, and the dimmest of the three stars, Deneb), Scorpio, Sagittarius, The Big Dipper, The Little Dipper, Arcturus, Anterres, and many others. I also saw Venus "set", changing colors and becoming dimmer as it hit the atmosphere at a shallower angle, changing from white to yellow to orange to red, before it faded into the darkness.
