Observation Post 4/10

Observation Post
Week of 4/6

The majority of my observations were made at around 8:00 at night and at 5:30 in the morning. They were done in a moderate to cold temperature. The sky on some days was clear while other days were cloudy. I did my observations at home, and on my way to school. On the days with the cloudy sky no observations could have been made. On the days that were not cloudy I observed multiple things. I also observed the constellation of Auriga, the charioteer. Another observed constellation was Orion, the hunter. I was able to delineate between Rigel and Betelgeuse. Using the location of Orion, and Orion's belt, I was able to locate what I belive was Sirius, which is in the constellation of Canis Major. I also observed the stars Castor and Pollux in the constellation of Gemini. I also observed multiple phases of the moon, including a full moon and a waning gibbous.
