The Night Sky: September 2020

Here are some of the things to see in September:

  • 9 pm, southeast sky – Pegasus constellation with the Great Square pattern, formed by the bright Alpheratz in the constellation Andromeda with Scheat, Markab and Algenib in Pegasus
  • 9 pm, southern sky – the constellation Aquarius with the bright, large globular cluster Messier 2, one of the oldest globular clusters known, appearing about five degrees north of Sadalsuud, the constellation’s brightest star, and forming a triangle with Sadalsuud and Sadalmelik, the second brightest star in Aquarius
  • 9 pm, southern sky – Capricornus constellation with the globular cluster Messier 30, visible in binoculars, and the multiple star system Alpha Capricorni, which appears as a visual double composed of the bright Algedi and a fainter optical companion
  • 9 pm, southern sky – the constellation Sagittarius with the conspicuous Teapot pattern and a number of interesting deep sky objects, including the Trifid Nebula, Omega Nebula, Lagoon Nebula and the globular clusters Messier 22, appearing two degrees northeast of Kaus Borealis, Messier 54 near Ascella, Messier 69 near Kaus Australis, and Terzan 5 west of the Lagoon Nebula
