What we did tonight...

We saw...

The Pleiades (Plejaderna), the photo above (source: Hubble telescope, NASA), The Orion Nebula, Mizar and Alcor, twin stars in the Big Dipper (Karlavagnen), The Andromeda Galaxy, and the Beehive Cluster, with a 12-inch telescope at the department of Astrophysics at Princeton University. It was a great night! My favorite was the Orion nebula.
