observation 2.0

Wednesday, November 7th
approx 9:30 pm
clear skies, very dark
looking due east
2 hours

Tonight when i was sitting outside in my back yeard, I was able to clearly see the summer triangle. All 3 stars, Deneb, Altair, and Vega, were very bright. They were making an obvious triangle shape. There was one star (the one on top) that seemed to be brighter than the other 2 stars. I am guessing that star was Vega. I had never seen the asterism before so it was very neat to finally be able to notice it.
