Observing Session --- 9.23.06
While the fortunate part of the class was being shown cool things by Mr. Percival, I was not able to attend because of a previous arrangement which required me to be in Ft Myers at Camp Miles Boy Scout Camp. Well, this was not all bad, because this camp is out in the middle of nowhere, it has relitively zero light pollution. So, what did I see in the 4 hours I spent outside? Well, four hours of time, and 20 sprays of bug repellant later, here's my tally.
time: 11:00pm - 3:00am.
Constellations: Ursa Major, Cepheus, and Aquila
Named Stars: Polaris
Planets: Jupiter
Deep Sky Objects: M31 (I had my laptop with me at camp and looked it up on that star program that's up on the site)
I saw 2 Meteors though!
One was going south. It started at the zenith and went about to halfway down.
The other was going east, starting from near the horizon, and at halfway to north.
