Observation 1-6-11

1-6-11
9:50 PM

I went outside with my father and my new telescope that I received for Christmas. I was planning to look at Jupiter and see if I would be able to see Jupiter's moons. Jupiter was far in the west and beginning to set. Orion was visible almost directly above near where the Pleiades were. The Pleiades looked almost like the Little Dipper. The moon was already set and was not able to be seen, but earlier in the night, the phase was waxing crescent. I never did find Jupiter because it set too quick.
