Bright Stars Noted: Nunki, Altair, Vega

Constellations Noted: Sagittarius (Barely), Ophichus, Serpens Cauda, Aquila, Lyra, Capricornus, Part of Aquarius (I think, there was a cloud in the way)

Binary Stars: Epsilon Lyrae. It looked like a really wide star, so I assumed that's what it was.

Deep Sky Objects: None Noted

Other:None

Note: I might have seen several deep sky objects because there were many fuzzy items within a few constellations. However, the binoculars I have are older than I am and were not able to focus on them to distinguish their nature.
