Observation 4/23/11

Tonight, I went out and looked up at the sky from my driveway in Sarasota at about 11:00 p.m.  I didn't see the moon, but I would guess that it is in its waning gibbous phase right about now.  It was a pretty clear night, so I did see some stars.  In the southeast, I saw two very bright stars.  I made these out to be part of the summer triangle, with Vega and Lyra showing.  I saw a fainter star, which I don't think was Deneb, but I'm pretty sure it must have been Epsilon Lyrae, according to its position in the sky at that time.
