First close look at our moon

[RichieG]

I had the closest look at our moon that I have ever seen last night with my new SW 200p with a 10mm ep and 2x Barlow. A fabulous view of the Sea of Showers/Rains. Doesn't it look so smooth. What an incredible sight. I can't wait for more of the same viewing and there was very little atmospheric distortion.

same here sat night with same scope as you and yes it was magical i also used my 6mm ep and wow shadows cast over the terrain was amazing.

Now try to see what the smallest crater the scope will show. On a good, steady night with a 6mm EP many years ago, using a detailed Moon map, I remember seeing craters down to a half mile in diameter (?) with my 10" newt.

What's the smallest crater size anyone has seen?
