Star Gaze Hours: Out in the Boondocks

Note: I did not take this photo (Accurate Representation)

On October the 12th, I went about 15 miles east of I75 to my friend Dallas' house where we went camping in the woods. Not 10 feet from the spot where we set camp was a clearing that I used to Star Gaze. During the night (from about 9 PM to 12:30 AM) I noticed an array of constellations using my eyesight and Iphone star mapping app. I once again noticed the position of Venus in relation to the constellation Scorpio. At this point the planet was past the center of the constellation and extremely close to the moon. The moon was in its First Quarter. Other observations included Serpens and Ophiuchus, Hercules (used the Key Stone to find it), Aquila, Cygnus, Delphinus and for a moment, Ursa Major (it faded below the trees relatively quickly). This occurred at different points during the night so many constellations made their way past the center of the sky.
