Seeing what an exceptionally clear night it was, Trinity-Anne and I went to the back porch, turned off all the lights and lay down under a big blanket and watched the stars. Due to the time of year, time of day, the position of our house and city lights (and perhaps lack of knowledge on my part) the only consellations we could make out at first were Cassiopeia and the Great Square of Pegasus. When our eyes adjusted, we also saw Delphinus. The highlight of the night (and the main reason for lying out there) was to look for satellites; we saw one going north to south speeding across the sky. Very very cool.

Apparently there's also a Comet Swan hanging about, but I could make no sign of it.
