Tonight, the LCROSS satellite will pass about 2 degs, PA225 from Izar (eps Boo) and 1 deg, PA250 from 36 Boo (for my o.p. at W110 N41) at around 8:15UT, July...
The June 11th LPOD: http://lpod.wikispaces.com/June+11,+2009 featured a photo by the AstronoMinsk imagers showing what was presumed to be the central peak of...
I have a question about objects on the moon and telescope's aperture size. Can you see Rima Hadley with a 6" SCT? Or do you need at least an 8"? Andrew Martin...
Rima Hadley is well detected, if the solar angle is low also with a 13 cm refractor. It is an easy target also for 18 cm reflector or Maksutov taking into...
On Monday 090629 I captured a photograph of a transient feature just west of the Caucasus range and just east of the Hadley area. I have not seen this 'heart...
That's an interesting observation... looking at high sun angle images I can easily see the heart shaped layout of the rises that catch the light in your...
Hi Andrew Like many objects, seeing conditions and angle of sunlight make or break seeing Hadley. I have seen and imaged it with a 4 inch refractor. Cheers ...

Thanks for the link, Jim. I've been searching for other sightings of this feature for a couple of days. The photo in the link did capture the peaks a bit...
NASA and Arizona State University have released images taken (during a brief calibration test) by the wide and narrow angle cameras onboard the Lunar...
Unfortunately, to my knowledge, JAXA has not released very many of their Moon images publicly. Their KAGUYA's resolution is 1/10 that of LRO - KAGUYA being...
Hi, what I want to say is that I have seen the marked region as a slightly dark-hued area: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3579/3684538184_19cc7ca7ce_o.jpg ...
OK this is a stratigraphically complex region. which on the surface (No pun intended) precludes a simple answer to your question. I would refer you to...
I have also captured Rima Hadley (just!) with my ETX125 which is a 125-mm (5-inch) Maksultov. http://www.madpc.net/~peterl/Moon/Craters/Hadley040904.html Peter...
Hi all, I couldn't resist having a play with the RAW TIFF of the LRO test image http://wms.lroc.asu.edu/lroc_browse/view/nacl000000fd . It doesn't open...
A poetic and bizarre view of why the Moon stays in the sky: http://icanhascheezburger.com/2009/07/03/funny-pictures-sky-hmm/ Paolo -- Avventure Planetarie -...
I have known lots of people who were convinced that this sort of things are "fact". They were sceptic when subjects such as spaceflight and manned lunar ...
Maybe this is why? The moon must never stray from the ecliptic, She always stays well within the sky, Aurora happen every March and September, In Camelot, ...
I've always wondered if it has to do with the age? After all, not every person was watching you know and some probably were not born. Then there is that old...
I wish all the dedicated popularizers and telescope operators in all the public observatories around the world a whole lot of "courage" and good luck, because...
