Observation 12/28/10

Tonight, I went out and looked up at the sky from my driveway in Sarasota, at about 9:30 pm.  The moon was not visible from where I was, but I can guess that it was in its waning crescent phase.  I did see a couple of stars in the eastern portion of the sky.  I am pretty sure I could make out the star Vega in the Lyra constellation.
