Log of observations:
Keep an eye on location of U Sco - tip of tail of Scorpius, Betelgeuse in Orion, also locate Sirius A, the Crab Nebula, Cassiopeiae A, Cygnus X-1, Sagittarius A. Record enough information so that I can tell you actually went out at night and tried to see something. Give a brief summary of why they are important. Some of these can be seen with the naked eye, some not. Some can be seen now, some later in the term. Work it out! (5 points)
