September 23,
From 8pm-10pm I went to Pine View for a teacher held observation secssion. We used a 100-160 power microscope. The skies was clear, transparency fair and the seeing was 2 out of 5.

We saw Jupiter and three of its moon. One moon was going behind the planet, we also saw dark line bands on the disk of the planet. We also saw Uranus and it was a blueish-white in color. I also saw one meteor going southwest.

These are the constellations and/or their alpha stars that I saw: Scorpius and Antares, Sagetarius and the "teapot," Opiuchus, Cygnus and Deneb, Lyra and Vega, Aquila and Altair, Ursa Minor and Polaris, the handle of the Big Dipper, Bootes and Arcturus, Hercules and the "keystone," Pegasus, Cassieopia, Cephius, Delphinus, and Andromeda.

In Lyra, I saw Epsilon Lyra a double,double star. The double's double star (south) was parallel and the north star was perpendicular to the line between the double stars. All four of the stars were white in color. I also saw another binary star-Beta Cygni or Albireo, one of the stars was blue while the other one was white.

I also saw M-57 the ring nebula, M-11 the wild duck cluster, M-13 a globular cluster, M-8 the lagoon nebula and M-31 the andromeda galaxy.
M57 looked like a ring through the telescope, while M11 and M13 looked like a bunch of stars clumped together. M8 is an emission nebula but I only saw its star cluster and maybe a jint of blue. M31 was an ecliptical fuzz in the telescope.
