Astrophiz112- Dr Ian Musgrave-SeptOctSkyGuide

Astrophiz 112: Dr Ian ‘Astroblogger’ Musgrave’s September/October SkyGuide A monthly treat for naked eye observers, telescopers and astrophotographers. Dr @ianfmusgrave gives us his fabulous guide to the morning & evening skies for the next month in the Southern and Northern Hemispheres, including a guide on how to observe Mars in opposition and it’s current nearby companion, the variable star Mira. Mira (Omicron Ceti), is a red giant star with a white dwarf companion (Mira B) around 400 light-years from the Sun in the constellation Cetus. In 'Ian's Tangent’ this month he gives us the lowdown on how amateurs can observe the tail of Mercury (Yes! Mercury has a tail). We include shoutouts to the usual suspects at @SpaceAustraliaDotCom aka @RamiMandow plus @TheSkyentisits Podcasters @El_Lobo_Rayado and @KirstenBanks
