Since Amelia already had her telescope ready, as soon as she was done writing about Aries in her journal, she decided to see if she could find another constellation. And maybe at some point later, she might try to spot some planets.

Consulting her constellation chart again, she looked for something that wouldn't be too hard to find after locating Aries. Also, something that was more visible in December.

Finally she settled on a constellation called Perseus. She had never seen it before, so she thought that it would be interesting to see with her own eyes. She looked at the coordinates:

Quote:
Right Ascension: 3 hours
Declination: 45 degrees
Visible between latitudes 90 and -35 degrees
Best seen in December (at 9:00 PM)
Adjusting her telescope now, she searched the night sky until she found it. Then she drew a quick sketch of the constellation and wrote about it in her journal.

When she was done, she quickly packed up her stuff and made sure that the area that she had been using was tidy again before she headed off to go and find her boyfriend, Zayden.
