sky in September, mid-southern latitudes, western horizon 10:30 p.m. local time

It's still winter in the southern hemisphere, albeit the autumnal equinox occurs this month! The winter skies are fading as the spring ones are emerging. The long band of typically southern, Milky Way-embedded constellations, southwest and West, has shifted West, as the band, in spring, is seen fully lying on the southern horizon. As Crux, the Southern Cross, is now mostly low, the Pointers are still well seen southwest, as the band of constellation is continuing West, Aquila and Cygnus-bound. Scorpius, the Scorpion or Sagittarius, the Archer -with the center of the Milky Way Galaxy are fine to see! Sagittarius is harbouring the bulge of old, yellowish stars -to which the blue, spiral arms are anchoring- along with the supermassive galactic black hole, which constitute the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. Northwest, still to be seen, is the famed 'Summer Triangle', this distinctive feature of summers, in the northen hemisphere, with its three bright stars, the spike of the triangle. Altair, of Aquila, the Eagle, high, Deneb, of Cygnus, the Swan, about North now, and, low, Vega of Lyra, the Lyra! Sagitta, the Arrow, or Vulpecula, the Little Fox, are fine small constellations associated with the Summer Triangle. to a printer-friendly chart

sky in September, mid-southern latitudes, eastern horizon 10:30 p.m. local time

The southeastern part of the sky, East, is harbouring fine views, like both the Magellanic Clouds, still high! The bright star, left, is Achernar, marking where Eridanus, the River Eridanus is ending its course as the chain of Eridanus is seen getting from the horizon! Rising now to the zenith, and high, you can spot too those typically southern constellations like Sculptor, the Sculptor or Phoenix, the Phoenix. Cetus, the Whale, is now about to be seen entirely, albeit some parts low, as the chain of Pisces, the Fishes, with the fine Circlet, is lying to its East and, more East still, check the large, Great Square of Pegasus, formed by three stars of Pegasus, the Winged Horse and one of Andromeda, Andromeda! Fine sights! to a printer-friendly chart

Some countries in the southern hemisphere don't have any Daylight Saving Time system. Some do have one. According to the policy of our site, our sky charts include a one-hour DST shift for the period September to March. Should your DST period differ, just adjust the charts. Should you not have any DST, take in account that one-hour DST shift we are applying September-March

For more details upon whether you country is applying, and when, a DST, please check a search engine on the Internet, for example!
