Observation 12-4-10

9:45 PM
In my driveway


Jupiter was clearly seen, very bright in the SW. Probably 48 degrees or so high. Then in the east, almost due east, was Orion. The constellation was very easy to spot and pick out. Could even see the faint nebula M43. The weather was really clear so all the stars were really bright. Moon is new so there was no light whatsoever from the moon. Perfect day to observe.
