It has come to my attention...

I was reviewing my blog in lieu of the deadline, and I noticed all the time stamps for the entries were way off (a blog entry at 5:55AM? I wish I were that committed!) So, instead of taking advantage of that, I decided to correct the time at a comfortable -5GMT. There, I didn't cheat.
I just noticed I didn't post anything about the group observation a few weeks ago. So here it is.
I arrived at the site, the service road outside the math building, at around 9:00PM, and all nearby lights were covered for the most part. The view was fantastic, almost as good as if we were in the country. The sorrounding area was mostly flat, and when facing the pond, all the stars were visible. I remember seeing a shooting star in the south eastern sky. I was able to identify many constellations almost as if they were on the star chart: Scorpius, Sagittarius, Ophiuchus are what I can remember off the top of my head, since they are the three I can almost instantly recognize.
During the course of the observation, we saw Jupiter slowly descend into the treeline. I remember Mr. Percival showing us a lot of stuff, such as the northern cross. He brought his telescope, to the enjoyment of everyone, and we saw some binary stars and I think two of Jupiter's moons. We also saw the complete Summer Triangle, which means I saw the constellations Aquila, Lyra, and Cygnus. Wait, Cygnus is the Northern Triangle. We also saw the North Star. Next time, I'll be sure to post a blog entry right after the observation session, which will hopefully be Thursday.
