Observation Time: 4 hours

Viewing Conditions: Very good, clear skies.

I observed the stars at Pine View school. The magnitude of stars that we could see was 5. While at Pine View, I observed 3 of messier's objects: M11-the wild duck cluster, M13-the andromeda cluster, and M57-The ring nebula. I also observed some constellations: saggitarus, pegasus, Cepheus, Cygnus, Aquila, and Scorpio. I also observed 4 of Jupiter's moons and the dark red spot on Jupiter. I also saw an iridium flare from a satellite, a double star system, a double-double star system, a shooting star, several planes, and a flock of birds.
