Observation 2.1

Date - 12/11/10
Time - 8pm 

I was at Twin Lakes Park with some friends and I looked up in the sky towards the east.  The skies were clear so I was able to observe many stars.  One star that caught my eye was a reddish star that I believed to be Betelgeuse.  The star was brighter than any in its vicinity.  Its brightness and reddish/orange tint lead me to believe it was the giant star in Orion.
