Observation 9/23/10

So, the sky was really cloudy tonight. And because of that I couldn't really see much :(
I saw the full moon tonight sort of, it was covered and dimmed by all the clouds.
There were some stars out tonight that were visible, but very few, all first magnitude stars basically.
The summer triangle was very visible. It is composed of the three stars Altair, Deneb, and Vega in the constellations Aquila, Cygnus and Lyra respectively.
Also, one of the only other stars in the sky tonight was the North star, or Polaris. It and the summer triangle were some of the only stars I was able to observe tonight.
