[AZ-Observing] Re: Nice View in the Western Sky

Maria Crisium is half bathed in the rising sun. With such a low sun angle
the surface of the maria has a "wavy" appearance like a wind blown lake
surface. On the crater scene, Langrenus, Vendelinus and Petavius are sitting
just outside the terminator. the central peaks of Langrenus and Petavius
were casting long shadows. The Earth glow was so bright that I put down an
observation of Aristarchus just for kicks, though many more landmarks where
visible in the glow. My new Moon in old Moon's arms could be only 14 hrs 50
min old but I re-observed at 39 hours just for the list. Who said observing
the Moon couldn't be fun?

Not many craters to be seen on a crescent, but you can get the "old moon in
the new moon's arms" and such. No, our Lunar observing List is not the same
as
the Astronomical League list. You should download their list if you want to
go
for the AL award.

Hope to see you Saturday at the Star Party. President Tejera tells me we
will
witness a couple bright, -7 and -8, Iridium flares. It may be cloudy during
the day but should clear by evening.

Hi Jack,

I just came in from working on your "Lunar Observing List" and enjoying the
view as well. I didn't happen to notice anyone in the "supply station"
waving, looking out the windows or what not (maybe they were in bed).
Back to the observing list. Is this list the same as and can be submitted to
the Astronomical League as well?

Beautiful scene of the crescent Moon, Venus and Aldebaran in the West. I
like
to imagine the Moon has a moon, or it's an orbiting Moon supply station to a
colony on the surface. Maybe some day.

Saturday, April 21 is Astronomy Day! SAC will host a Public Star Party at
T-Bird Park, see our website for details. Come on out and enjoy a night
under
the stars!
