Observation - October 17th

Date: October 17th
Time: 10:00 PM -12:00 AM
Place: Osprey, FL
Sky conditions: Clear

Instruments used: Binoculars and Sky Map app

Planets: Mars and Jupiter

Bright stars: Antares, Polaris, Summer Triangle (Vega, Deneb, Altair)

Constellations noted: Scorpius, Ursa Minor

Notes: While stargazing, I was looking online to see if there were to be any unusual things happening in the sky that night and discovered that Jupiter and the moon were supposed to be close together. Unfortunately, this was supposed to happen very early in the morning so I did not get to see this, but did note Jupiter moving closer and closer to the moon throughout the evening.

Total for Quarter 1: 4 hours
