"The Great World Wide Star Count"

Date: October 25, 2011

Local Time: 9:45 pm

Location: 27.309583 degrees latitude, and -82.503184 degrees longitude
Sarasota, FL 34239

I was able to observe many Magnitude 3 stars, and some Magnitude 4.  I was able to identify the Summer Triangle, Cygnus, Cassiopeia, Pleiades, Jupiter, the Square of Pegasus, Perseus, and Draco.  Because of a street light, houses, and a couple of large trees, it was difficult to see the southern parts of the sky.
