Hosted by Chris Beckett & Shane Ludtke, two amateur astronomers in Saskatchewan. actualastronomy@gmail.com October 2nd - Moon and Pleiades, the brightest star cluster in the Messier Catalogue meet up with the Moon just below and west of the Pleiades in the evening sky. Better farther west in North America you are. October 6th  - Last quarter Moon - Apennine Mountains partially circling Mare Imbrium. Crater Plato is the most prominent crater at the top of Mare Imbrium. Lots of Craters near the Terminator at centre, Herschel, Ptolemaeus, Alphonsus Arzachel, Straight wall and Mare Nubium as well. Morning of October 10th before sunrise - Venus - The Moon And Regulus Alignment. October 12th - Zodiacal Light is visible in the morning sky for the next 2 weeks…or until the Moon enters the sky. October 14th Annual Solar Eclipse & New Moon. We just get a good partial here but the “Ring of Fire” is visible along a track from Mexico to the Canadian Maritimes. Remember, Annular is not total so you always need to use your H-Alpha Scope or certified solar glasses or Solar Filter to view this. I attended Alan Dyers Talk at SSSP and he ID’d a place in Texas where you can observe both this Annular Eclipse as well as the Total on April 8th 2024. October 18th - Antares is occluted by the Moon for most of the EU. So check your local. October 19/20th - Double Shadow Transit on Jupiter for Io and Ganymede, 1am our time, that’s 3am EST.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
