Approx. 25 degrees south, 1 degree east. Or, about in the middle, but only one third the way up from the bottom... :-) dt

Ditto on the great images, and the 127mm mak-cass. That is still my primary scope as well. dt

Nice shots!!! d t

Yep, you should know by now that X marks the spot... Here are my predicted start times for observing the Lunar X illumination using 1.2 sun alt over crater Werner as the parameter: 2011 January 12 0012 UT February 10 1526 UT March 12 0543 UT April 10 1837 UT May 10 0610 UT June 8 1642 UT July 8 0247 UT August 6 1305 UT September 5 0012 UT October 4 1232 UT November 3 0214 UT December 2 1704 UT d t

Congrats on a very nice first moon photo. That is the same size scope that I have... dt

Hello all, My favorite topic! This is my first visit here but will be back shortly. I have found that using 1.2 sun alt over crater Werner is a very nice way to predict the start of the Lunar X... dana t
