Here is the latest report from Starry Night Software and Chris Vaughan, at Space.com. It provides information on several interesting observing opportunities throughout the month of September, including the Tuesday, Sept. 1 from 9:55 to 11:13 p.m. EDT — Moon occults star Tau Aquarii, Wednesday, Sept. 2 evening — Asteroid Pallas changes direction, Saturday, Sept. 5 overnight — Bright moon dances with Mars, Friday, Sept. 11 overnight — Neptune at opposition near Phi Aquarii, and many other observing opportunities. It also includes lots of other interesting pictures, maps, charts, and information for this month.
