Quarter 1 Observations

Sorry about the huge dump of info, but here it is. So far this year I have:

• Observed the Perseid meteor shower from a houseboat in Minnesota (I counted 8 meteors)
• Observed the changing position of the moon day by day
• Observed Venus and Jupiter when they were at their closest in the morning sky near the moon
• Observed many constellations, asterisms, and bright stars in the sky including:
• The summer triangle and associated constellations(Aquila, Cygnus, Lyra)
• Many of the prominent summer constellations (Sagittarius, Scorpius, Hercules, Ursa Minor, Cepheus, Ophiuchus)
• In the morning: Orion as well as some first magnitude stars such as Rigel and Sirius
• Observed the lunar eclipse on October 8th, but was only able to see a partial eclipse before the clouds covered it
• Observed Mars and Antares in the night sky when they were at their closest
