cygnus02 

all right, so there’s the damn bird. it just so happened to be right above the house when i went outside this evening (around 8:30pm) making it the easiest constellation to capture.

the bright star at the bottom is Vega.

Vega is very bright; brighter than Polaris, which i did not know until tonight, but apparently our North Star isn’t even in the top 20 brightest stars. what kind of slacker pole star is this?

Anyway Vega is the 2nd brightest star in the night sky in the northern hemisphere, and that impresses me.
