Observation 1.2

Two nights ago ( September 21 ) at 9:30pm I went out on turtle beach to observe the stars. I made several different observations. Firstly, the sky was very clean, and since the beach was very dark, many stars were visible. I was able to observe Jupiter in its current retrograde motion, and made different colonies including the Corona Australis and the Archer. The moon was also out that night, and the brightness of the moon made it difficult to see more stars. The clouds slowly rolled in and covered up the sky, making it incredibly difficult to continue observations of the stars.
