Observations 9/21, 9/22

9/21:  The moon tonight is a waxing gibbous, but by tomorrow night it should become a full moon, so it is very bright.  As a result of this, very few stars were visible.  In the west around 9:00 PM Venus and Mars were setting, but Venus was much brighter than Mars, so that was the only one I could see.  Jupiter was in the East at this time.  Jupiter rose shortly after the moon, since last night it was at opposition to the sun, and tomorrow night the moon should be at opposition.
9/22:  Tonight was a full moon, and at 9:30 it was approximately 5 degrees NE of Jupiter.  Venus set in the west around 9:00 PM.  In the West, one of the few stars I could see was Antares in a very faint Scorpius, and in the SW was the curved shape of Ophiuchus.

Venus

Went outside at 9:00 PM and saw Venus in the West close to the horizon.  It looked like a giant bright star, and luckily it was in one of the few portions of clear sky around my house.  Also saw the constellations Serpens, Ophiuchus, and Corona Borealis around 10:00 in about the same spot.  The clouds, palm trees, and lights made it difficult for me to spot anything else.
