I'm pretty sure that I did. I totally forgot that I saw it too. It was like 1 or 2am and I was looking out my window, so that would be westward facing. And the sky was fairly clear. And I saw a grouping of stars which I assume to be a constellation. And because I saw it so late at night and then I went back to bed, I forgot to google constellation sightings.
I was going to draw a picture of what the constellation looked like, however I can't remember now what it looked like. I'm sure there is a lesson in here somewhere. Anyways, I looked at http://www.astro.wisc.edu/~dolan/constellations/ which lists the constellations by month. I looked under "Septembers" constellations, however nothing seemed similar. I'm gonna look in August, just in case. Hang on....

Interesting... It could have been Scutum. Bless you!!!! It looks similar. Oh course it could also be a figment of my imagination! OH MY!!! There is a spider!!!! That is NOT a figment of my imagination!!!! Eww!!!
Position in the Sky
Explanation of the following information
Right Ascension: 19 hours
Declination: -10 degrees
Visible between latitudes 70 and -90 degrees

Yeah, see I saw it around 1 or 2am. However, looking at all the different types of constellations, the best time to see them is 9pm. So, it's possible that it was that one, however, I will never be sure. Oh well. In the words of my esteemed friend Martin Prince...
