Observation 10/31/14

This observation was from a week ago so let's see what I can remember.  I was in Woodland Park, Sarasota, FL and I observed from about 7:30-9:00 pm while I was trick-or-treating n_n I was able to identify Cygnus (The Swan), Polaris, Ursa Minor (Little Bear), Delphinus (The Dolphin), Scorpius (The Scorpion), the Summer Triangle, it was more difficult for me to identify Lyra and Aquila, though.  The magnitude was decent, perhaps around 5? I cannot remember the phase of the moon - and I did not use a telescope I just used my eyes (at one point I did use the StarWalker app). Overall it was a pretty good night for observing! It wasn't very cloudy and it wasn't too hot out.  

Godspeed, 
Melanie
