Stargaze Adventure 11/6/10

Went out stargazing at turtle beach for a few hours. Observed Sagittarius, Aquila, and Hercules. Also observed the Northern Cross in Cygnus for the light pollution project. The Northern Cross is easiest found by looking for the southern triangle, and then focusing on the faintest star in the triangle, Deneb. Deneb is a part of the northern cross. I determined the Northern cross to be about magnitude 5 out of 7 (no light pollution), and submitted the info online.
