Constellations noted: Delphinus, Aquila (although it was difficult to see because of the Milky Way)

Other: The moon was a waning cresent, it was barely visible; the Milky Way was also visible (at first I thought it was clouds, but it was such a defined stretch that I eventually realized it was the Milky Way)
