Observation Post

While kyak camping from December 27th- December 30th as apart of a group called Paddle Florida, I was able to estimate the star visibility to be at 4th magnitude.  The light pollution in the Deland area, where most of the camp sites were located near, is far less detrimental to star gazing as Sarasota's.  It was truly incredible to be able to see at least twice as many stars in the sky as I am normally able to find.  I easily spotted Jupiter, the constellation Orion, Pegasus and Cassiopeia, but with improved visibility I also saw Capricorn and Pisces.
