Ralph, Paul & Jeni pick their highlights for this month’s skies; starting with the solar system objects on offer to observers and imagers:

  • Saturn and its ring system in the evening
  • Mercury at greatest western elongation in 12th September
  • Neptune at opposition on 5th September in Aquarius.

Next up, we take a deep sky pick from our list of favourites for this time of year:

  • Ralph – The Saturn Nebula in Aquarius
  • Jeni – The Andromeda Galaxy and its satellites
  • Paul – NCG 7479 barred spiral Seyfert galaxy.

And we finish this sky guide with September’s moon phases.
