September Constellation:

This constellation was named after the roman hero, Hercules of great strength and son of Jupiter. The middle of this constellation looks like a distorted square also known as the keystone.

Use binoculars to find M13, one of the best globular star clusters in the sky, in the keystone.

Hercules is not a very bright constellation but it can be seen high in the southwest this month.

Look in dark skies.
