Lunar Observations 1.2

At tonight's star gaze at Turtle Beach I estimated that the angular separation of the Moon and Jupiter was 19 degrees looking east around 9:15 PM.  Based on the fact that the moon rotates at approximately 13 degrees per day, my prediction is that the angular separation bvetween the Moon and Jupiter will be about 6 degrees tomorrow night and I will make observations tomorrow to see if this is in fact true. Also I was able to see the teapot formation of stars in the constellation Sagittarius, the constellation Aquila and its first magnitude star Altair, Ursa Major or the Big Dipper, Scorpius and its first magnitude star Antares, Hercules and the keystone, Cassiopeia, and the summer triangle comprised of Altair, Deneb and Vega.  The planets Mars and Venus were visible to the naked eye and we were able to see Venus actually set into the horizon.
