River Bend Farm: September 2025
by Francine Jackson
It was a surprisingly clear night Friday, September 19th, and Jim Hendrickson and Francine Jackson joined the staff at River Bend Farm in Uxbridge for its monthly sky observing night. With no Moon to tempt the public, the crowd was rather low, about a dozen people, but Saturn, finally joining the evening sky, was a great hit. For many, viewing Saturn for the first time through a telescope begins their foray into sky observing.
In addition, the telescopes were pointed to Vega, Mizar, the double-double, Neptune, and the Coathanger, but Saturn was the real “star” of the evening.
