Observations 12-14

9 PM-10 PM

Tonight I saw Orion, all of Canis Major (not just the area near Sirius), Canis Minor, Gemini, Taurus, Cepheus, Cassiopeia, Perseus, and Auriga.  I might have seen more if the first quarter/waxing gibbous moon hadn't been high in the sky when I was making my observations.

I also saw Jupiter directly below the moon.

The sky was crystal clear tonight, partially because of the temperatures in the 30s, which limited the humidity, but drastically increased the wind chill factor, which forced me to bundle up, limiting my peripheral vision.
