Observation 4/7/11

Tonight, I went outside and looked up at the sky from my driveway in Sarasota at around 10:00 p.m.  I saw the moon in the west, about 25% of the way illuminated, and it appears to be in its waxing crescent phase.  In the north, I found the Big Dipper, and from there I extended the arc to Arcterus.  Then, in the east, I found the three stars (Deneb, Vega, and Altair) of the Summer Triangle.
