September Sky Highlights
As summer comes to an end the bright fall red giant star Arcturus shines in the sky. The summer triangle of Vega, Deneb, & Altair will be in the sky as well. The giant globular cluster in Hercules can be seen as well. We will attempt to catch a glimpse of the giant galaxy Andromeda. Also in the sky is the giant planet Saturn with its fantastic ring system and its largest moon Titan
