September brings several sky events, including two meteor showers that won't be easy to see due to moonlight and low rates. The Beehive Cluster (M44) will undergo a lunar occultation, observable from approximately 4am until sunrise on September 8. Neptune's closest and brightest approach will be on September 26, though a telescope will be required for observation.
