Astronomy Observation (Log 3) 10.14.12

As I have not yet attempted to use my telescope yet, I again analyzed the sky with the help of the Star Walk application. Clouds were covering some areas of the sky, but especially along the ecliptic, I was able to make out clear distinctions between constellations. From my front yard, I saw the individual stars that made up both my zodiac sign Pisces, and also Aries. I could see Ursa Minor, with the north star Polaris standing out very clearly. There was a new moon, and I saw what I thought might have been Jupiter, but it was near the constellation Perseus. I also saw the set of constellations that include Vulpecula and Delphinus.
