Observation (2/8/11)

Location: My driveway in Osprey
Time: 8:30 P.M.
Weather Conditions: Clear skies

Tonight I was able to have a good clear view of the sky. The moon was visible in the west. It was a bright waxing crescent. In the north, I was able to see the Ursa Minor and Polaris. It was faint so I had to block the lights from my house with my hands to be able to see it. Orion was visible up above and I was able to see Orion's belt and the stars that make up his dagger. Sirius could also be seen to the lower left. There were also a few more bright stars even more left of it that I believe could have been Castor and Pollux.
