Observation 3.3: Astronomy Night

Astronomy Night was awesome. We saw a lot of stars. I personally assisted Captain Perseus in manipulating the large reflecting telescope we had set up. I helped spot Sirius, the dog star, as well as Jupiter.  I identified several constellations for myself, my peers, and visitors. I located Auriga, as well as it's star Capella along with the Kids. I saw Orion, and it's plentiful stars Rigel, Betelgeuse, Bellatrix, Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka. I also saw Gemini with the twin stars Castor and Pollux, in addition to Taurus with it's star Aldebaran and the Pleadies and Hyadies star clusters.
