Sky Journel #7

Date: November 4, 2010
Time: 11:00 PM
Location: Crestview Lane, Mount Vernon, WA
The picture below is a replica I made of the sky as I saw it last night. The points have been drawn fairly large so that they’re able to be seen.
            a. Capricornus: Azimuth: 70
Altitude: 300
NW. I wasn’t able to see the head of Capricornus but I was able to make out the box-like body.
            b. Jupiter: Azimuth: 80
. Altitude: 40
NE. I thought it was interesting to see how much Jupiter moved from when I viewed it last week whether that is due to the change of date or the time I went out.
            c. Fomalhaut: Azimuth: 10
. Altitude: 110 SE. This star was fairly noticeable but I was really unsuccessful in trying to find the entire constellation, Piscis.
