The Moon!

[Gradie]

Second outing with my new scope tonight was cut short by cloud, but just as id brought everything in the moon appeared over the houses opposite, so out it all went again!

I didn't get long before the clouds caught up with it, but wow! I could have happily spent hours gazing at its surface and without a doubt it'll be the first thing I show my friends. Fingers crossed for.clearer skies tomorrow!

check out virtual moon atlas

Yes a wonderful sight is the moon. Taking a look myself and will get some pictures if the computer stops playing up!!

It's not so great when it's full, but otherwise I think the moon is massively underrated. I enjoy spending time viewing it. If you'd like a specific list of things to search for, google for the "Lunar 100" list.

Nice site thanks

The Moon is great object to look at, you can never tire as there is always so much to explore!

[Gradie]

Will definitely take a look at those sites, thanks for the recommendation!

Looking forward to the next clear night so I can spend more time with the moon, and then hopefully pick up Jupiter shortly after .

Do you have a moon filter? if not I highly recommend one as the moon can be very bright through the eyepiece .

Not yet, but from last night I can appreciate how one would help. I'll add it to the shopping list!
