So I wasnt able to make a decent observation on my trip. That meant I had to make one today. I was down near Casey Key and observed sunset there. A little while after sunset, a first quarter moon was at its zenith. A bright object, which im sure is Venus, was visible since the sun began to set and the sky began to darken. Right behind me, due east, was the easily recognizable constellation of Orion. Almost right in front of me was the Square of Pegasus. From here we were able to discern other constellations. we saw taurus, and i think we saw perseus, but the moon was too bright to be sure. conditions were almost perfect. besides the brightness of the moon, there was noticeable light pollution to the north in sarasota.
