Average Stars

  I did a homemade experiment where you can find the average amount of stars in the sky.  Since I didn't have a toilet paper roll I made a circle with my hand roughly the same size as the roll.  I did the experiment 20 times as told.  The total amount of stars I saw was 48.  I divided the number by 20 to get the average of 2.4.  Then I took that number and multiplied it by 99.2 and got 238.08 stars.  I did this on 6/16/13 at 10:15pm at the apex apartments to test out the light pollution.  It's really bad over here!  I know for sure if I was back at home my results would have been much higher.
