Location: My house (27.309583 latitude, -82.503184 longitude)
Temperature: 70 degrees Fahrenheit
Weather: Partly cloudy
Time: 8:00 EST to 9:30 EST
Because of a street light, trees, clouds, and the brightness of the moon, it was difficult to view much. The moon was so bright that it formed a moon halo of about 3 degrees when measured with my fist. Despite the set backs, I was able to observe Jupiter, Orion and Orion's belt, Draco, the Pleiades cluster, and Cassiopeia.
Next time I'm going to have to go somewhere that does not have as much light pollutioin to spoil the fun!
