Observations 2.2

Highlands, North Carolina (4 hours)
During my vacation to North Carolina which was from Dec. 23 to Dec. 29, I viewed the sky using my December sky chart for 4 hours. I started by using the compass in my phone to get the correct directions so that i could use my sky chart to observe the sky. I started by locating the great square of pegasus and located other objects in the sky from there. I saw polaris and ursa minor, casseopia, the Pleiades, andromeda, Capella, Aries, the milky way, Cygnus and the northern cross, Jupiter, Cetus, Taurus, Orion, and pisce. The weather throughout the week was varied. The first couple of days had lots of rain, so i could not observe the sky at all, but as the week went on, the weather cleared up and i was able to view the sky although it was quite chilly outside.
