Monrovia Sidewalk Astronomy, Saturday, September 10

Even though I am temporarily out of the area, I do know my friends back home plan to be in Old Town Monrovia (corner of Myrtle and Lime, Library Park) this Saturday, September 10. Probably just moon viewing, however, Saturn is too low to reasonably see in the evening, and Jupiter is rising too late for public viewing. Gibbous moon will be well-placed, however. Not sure if my friends there will choose to try a few other objects that evening, as well. I suspect if you asked to see Alberio, someone would be happy to oblige. Typically, they're there from dusk until at least 9 or 9:30pm.
