Well, after long absence, I have a chance to watch the Moon this week. My latest craze is to find crater chains on the Moon ... Anyway while meandering around...
Hi Ron! Glad you have surfaced again! Thanks for your comments - you have been an active lunar observer and many people have read your reports so your ...
Aha! Rob! Indeed, a good telescopic HiRes-photograph of the entire moon shows a lot of less-known impact- and landing-sites! (the Low-Res's show only raw...

Greetings: Might I suggest a look at Teeter's (not Teether's!) Telescopes? Here's a link. Rob is big on lunar and planetary observing, so he builds dobs in...
Next May 4 I am going to host an observing evening at the local observatory. We will peek at Saturn and Jupiter and, of course, enjoy the total lunar eclipse....
Hi Chase, This time I'll actually type before goofing and sending <g> Nice observing report! It is amazing how things change in a short time. It's also fitting...
