Pre-Dawn August Stargaze

Today I woke up at 5:55am and noticed these bright stars outside my window facing east. Lo and behold! I saw Orion! At first I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me but I know that you can see winter skies in the summer if you stay up late/early enough. But knowing and actually seeing are two different things. It felt really great to look outside. Too bad I missed the meteor shower, but I could still see Taurus' Hyades and Pleadies, Auriga's capella, Pegasis, Cassiopeia, Andromeda, Perseus, Fomalhaut, and I believe that Saturn still might have been visited Gemini. I wanted to bring my telescope out, but that thing is very bulky, and as tall as I am. I suppose I have to find the best way to carry it out even if it means taking the tube off first. Next time. Good bye!
