October Skywatch Notes From A Stellar Guide
October skies offer the Great Square of Pegasus and Fomalhaut in Pisces Australis. The Great Nebula in Andromeda appears as a faint patch. Borrelly's Comet, rediscovered near Orion, is barely visible. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are described with rise and visibility details. The Milky Way spans the sky. Perseus and Aquila regions offer rich starfields.
