If you all haven't noticed, LPOD is scheduled to go off the air January 1, 2005. I am sure this will feel like a serious blow to the whole group. But your...
Charles Wood -- It's a sad day for us mere mortals. I've enjoyed your books, articles, and comments and will surely continue to benefit from them. I'll be...
Ross - thank you - and others - for many kind words about LPOD and my enthusiasm in encouraging people to observe the Moon! Some of the emails make it sound...

Hi all, I know most of us in this group are LPOD regulars but for those who haven't seen it yet just take a look at todays image of Aristarchus by Wes Higgins,...
Dave, I share your frustration with the recent weather in the UK, I haven't captured anything worthwile for ages. On the 2 ocassions I have tried the seeing...
Stefan, No words can do justice to today's LPOD! In fact, I am not sure if a spacecraft photo from decades earlier would even rival Wes' image?! Anthony....
Stefan/Dave, After a tremendous stretch of great weather, we also have fallen victim to undesireable weather the past three weeks and the prognosis for next...
PS. I realize that the status of LPOD is up in the air but perhaps there could be an image of the month as well as an image of the year depending on how things...
Hi, Stefan ... Yes, one clear night in about the last 3 weeks :-( ... Wow, that's a great rille image! You must have had much better seeing than me, and maybe...
Thanks! everyone, I think the combination of large aperture and a sensitive camera allowed me to take a short exposure and not blow out Aristarchus and still...
guess I've not been checking in enough! Dr. Wood, best wishes to you on your new endeavor and thank you for sharing your passion and expertise for the moon...
I do not read every message on this list because I get around 200 emails a day (mostly offers I don't need). Charles, sorry to hear you are moving. Not fair, I...
Rik - I mentioned in the Dec 1 LPOD that LPOD will remain at its present URL but it will have an index of features as the home page so that it will be...
Anthony - That's a great idea to have images of the year and of the month! Thanks for the suggestion. And everyone should know that it was Anthony who first...
... It is a win-win-win scenario ... great to honor outstanding images, great opportunity for a second peek at outstanding images, and some easing off to your...
Something for observers of the E.S.E.-limb of the moon during very favourable libration. Take a look at LAC-100 of the CLEMENTINE ATLAS OF THE MOON by Ben...
Dodi, your photograph of the moon surrounded by cirrus-clouds remind me of the moon's appearance in the Sci-Fi TV-series "SPACE 1999" by Gerry and Sylvia...
Dear observers of the moon's Libration zones, Is there a description of the lunar limb's most "remote" formation which is observed somewhere in the past or in...
... wrote: I hope I am not disappearing from the lunar scene, but just taking a break to get re-established elsewhere. I hope that LPOD will return soon in the...
... Wes - That picture is unreal! Can you compare your camera to something like the AstroVid2000 (which I use)? I've been looking for reviews of the DMK,...
Brendan, Thanks! I don't know enough about the AstroVid2000 to make a comparison, to my knowledge I was the first one to use the DMK-21F04 for Astro imaging...
On the LPOD of sunday 5-12-'04 (Jansen sector) there's also the "Mitika peak" (Jansen alpha) to the south-west of Cajal (formerly known as Jansen F). Maybe...

Yes, this is a most interesting hobby!: -Looking for bright ray-craterlets in B.Bussey's and P.Spudis's CLEMENTINE ATLAS OF THE MOON, and then on the online...
It might be within the means of an amateur group such as Amsat to put a 10-inch telescope on a spacecraft positioned at the L-1 Lagrange point between the...
