LEYS SATELLITE
"On the 1st of September, I had a great introduction to autumn stargazing in the Leys. Sat
on the Lunar Bench by Cuddeson Way in asterism glory. Even though the clouds came
and went and there's the ever present city lights, I was able to see a few stars of the Big
Dipper - probably the most well known asterism - found in Ursa Major; a faint zigzag, the
noticeable pattern in Cassiopeia. The one that came clearest, was the cross that forms the
swan in Cygnus. As beautiful as it is to see a swan floating on the water, so it is to see the
one above my head, emblazoning the night sky."
