Observation 2/13/11

Tonight, I went out and looked up at the sky from my driveway in Sarasota at about 7:30 pm.  I saw the moon shining almost directly above in about the east-west region of the sky.  It is in its waxing gibbous phase, and about 75 percent of it is illuminated.  I saw a few stars around the moon.  I think I was able to make out three stars of Orion's Belt from the Orion Constellation.
