Last October the 30th we went to the countryside and enjoyed watching the Summer constellations which were hiding on the west , the autumn constellations in the Zenit ( top ), and the East, close to some winter ones which were appearing.
First of all we took a look at the First Quarter Moon. It was very nice to observe the craters, the lands and the sees. Angelo took very nice pictures.
In the Zenit was Pegasus, the winged horse in Greek Mythology. Below it, it was difficult to observe Piscis. Not far was Aries. Watching Aries it is not very stunning, because you are able to recognize just three stars in a row.
In the area is one of the most beautiful celestial object, the Andromeda galaxy. The galaxy is very nice to identify and to seek. It is also possible to recognize with the naked eye.
We were observing Taurus, the Pleiades and of course the circumpolar galaxies and stars: Ursa Major and Minor, Cassiopeia, Polaris star.
Within the observation and before leaving, we were taking a lot of pictures, some of the Moon and some of ourselves. All of them were taken in the darkness.
