Useful Lunar 100 List

[Moonshane]

Hi all

I came across this http://www.eastvalleyastronomy.org/downloads/OTL100.pdf today. It's a useful addition to those looking for and recording the Lunar 100.

The main use is that it gives a list of targets viewable on each day of the moon's stages.

Hope this is of interest

Thanks for that, just added it to my favourites.

It would probably be worth printing out and putting in a folder too.

Cheers:)

Many thanks for the link. I have saved the pdf and as you say the list of which days for each target looks extremely useful.

Excellent, thanks grabbed that. I'll print it out later.

Shane I am really grateful for this. I am not the best lunar observer and the original lunar 100 chart that I had was not the best.

This pdf is just what I needed especially when DSOs are not viewable because the Moon is too bright.

I have save this file and will print it out later. Its looks clear for tonight so perhaps the 7/8 day old Moon should be observed!!

Regards

Mark

Brillient link for the lunar observer. Thanks very much.

[Moonshane]

no worries. seeing on the low moon was rubbish last night. I found some of the choices for day 15-18 a bit weird unless I was looking at it the wrong way round

I admit it........I was looking at the date not the phase! We are tonight on a 10 day old moon I think ?

[Moonshane]

this is OK Lunar 100

Thankyou Moonshane, much appreciated...Have a good weekend...

OK, REALLY stupid question - you can claim each of the lunar 100 when you have positively identified it, I guess. Does it matter if you were looking directly at it or if it's in an image you have taken? Sorry if this is a daft thing to ask and I guess it's largely subjective but I don't know what the rules / etiquette are here...

[Moonshane]

it's a very personal thing I suppose. I suspect the intention was to visually observe them (the east valley pdf refers to seeing objects on the list).

That said, it's a list you are doing for you and if you go through it photographing the targets then that's your call.

Personally, I'd not be happy to e.g. take a pic of the moon and then find the Lunar 100 objects on the photo by searching through the features on the pic when I didn't see them at the time.

If you search out a target and then photograph it that's a different thing but you can do it how you like - there's no real rules as far as I'm aware. This is one of the good things about Astronomy - no rules apart from be nice to people and use a red light!

this is not a bad link for it http://the-moon.wikispaces.com/Lunar+100

[Dave Smith]

Thanks for putting the corrected link Moonshane, although I saved the original I couldn't find it when I wanted it. It is now re-saved and printed.
