Observation April 27

We looked at many constellations including Orion (Betelgeuse and Rigel), Gemini (Castor and Pollux), Bootes (Arcturus), Ursa Major - Big Dipper, Canes Venatici (Cor Caroli), Leo(Regulus), Leo Minor, Corvus, Crater, Virgo (Spica), and many others. We also saw Saturn and Mars. Mars was right next to Gemini. I also learnt that with the Big Dipper I follow the arc to Arcturus and sped on to Spica. :) We also looked a number of M objects (but I forget the exact numbers and Mr. Percival threw away my sheet that I wrote the numbers down on), but I do remember we looked at M42 through the binocs.
