Amelia hadn't been up here in the Observatory for a while. But Zayden was off somewhere else and she had decided to start doing her constellation gazing so that she would be distracted and not miss him. It also looked like a really nice night, so that was a plus.

Shivering a bit, she looked around the room and saw all the pictures and charts. It was a really neat room, and she had to admit that Astronomy interested her. But then a lot of the classes here interested her.

Finding a suitable telescope, she headed over to it. Placing her bag down, she then took out her constellation chart. She scanned it over so that she could choose a constellation to look for.

I think I'll search for Aries.

Quote:

Right Ascension: 3 hours
Declination: 20 degrees
Visible between latitudes 90 and -60 degrees
Best seen in December (at 9:00 PM)

She looked at the information she had written for Aries on her chart, and tried to remember how to set the coordinates for it.

Setting her telescope on a random part of the castle, she set her focus properly before she started working out the coordinates. It took a little while, but she finally found it.

She happily started writing in her journal. After this, she was going to go down and see if she could find Zayden again before bed.
