Monday August 20th: 9:00-9:30. This was my first observation session of the year. I went outside to observe the relationship between Antares, Jupiter, and the moon. They formed a small, clear triangle.
Tuesday August 21st: 9:00-9:30. On this observation session, I again viewed Antares, Jupiter, and the Moon, but tonight they seemed to form a line. I attempted to record how far apart they were, but I lost the sheet of paper on which I wrote it.
Wednesday August 22nd: 9:15-9:45. On the third night, I again located Antares, Jupiter, and the Moon, and they again formed a triangle, but this time the triangle was flipped, with the moon on the opposite side. Again, the distance between them was lost with the measurements of Tuesday.
August 28th: 5:30-6:30. On this morning, I woke up an hour early so that I could attempt to see the lunar eclipse. When I first walked outside it was obscured slightly by clouds, but within 5-10 minutes it was clear. While I was watching, the majority of the moon ended up being covered before I went inside to shower.
September 7-8: 8:55-9:10. On these two days, I went outside to attempt to see the Iridium Flares. I missed them on both nights, however before I went inside I was able to find Scorpius, although I didn't find Sagittarius or Corona Borealis.
