Hi folks, OK, so in the future I'll buy Charles Woods' The Moon & Rukl's Atlas, maybe I'll be getting the second job after all:) (Actually, I still have my eye...
Hi, Wayne-- ... Nonsense! If we brave newbies don't ask our questions, we'll never learn! I've been looking into this a bit--it's called "libration." The...
Hi all, Last night I noticed a feature south of Janssen that stood out from its surroundings, between Nearch and Boussingault. Files folder: Lammel ...
Perfect. Thanks Heather, I checked out your second site first, and there was an animation of the moon going through one phase showing the libration, and sure...
Hi Heather, No really mediocre seeing. There were several flares of bad seeing on individual shots, often 1/3rd of the moon diameter. I "patched" them with...
Hi Wayne, Libration is very important to understand and ask about. Rukl and Wood both adequately describe these lunar basics in their books. The Moon doesn't...
Hi Pete, Congrats for the appearance of this work on LPOD as well. The ancient Greeks used the retrograde motion of the planets to suggest that perhaps we have...

Hi Pete, Do not discount parallax measurements as being beyond us amateurs. In fact, Roger Sinnott (S&T) has a little outstanding challenge from a column about...

At last I have finished the pictures I took of the Moon on 25th October, when the Moon was 12.6 days old. They are all of areas close to the terminator, so are...
Hi, I'm exhausted because I have spent nearly 10 working hours to process and stitch the images in the past two days. The images were taken on 31th Oct, seeing...
