colmamur Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Hi all, Just bought telescope, and by god it took some time to sort out focus etc etc. But last night got a clear view of our beautiful moon, all I can say is amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jabeoo1 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Happy Xmas and welcome! The moon is great especially less full than it is right now, that shadow (terminator) as it shifts across during the phases is just stunning. Remember that the details seen during the waxing phases are not identical to the waning details ! Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FenlandPaul Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Hi ColmamurWelcome to SGL and congrats on your first views of the moon. If you think it looks good when it's full, wait until you look at it when it's a half moon or crescent. The lower angle of the Sun on its surface casts deep shadows across craters and mountains and it can look absolutely stunning. One of my favourite activities is gazing down the "terminator" - the dividing line between night and day on the moon - which can show some really interesting details.Enjoy it.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
