[sac-forum] Lunar Observing Tonight - yes tonight

My plan is to get up around 2:30AM, set the scope out in backyard and spend an 
hour or so observing entries in the SAC 110 Lunar List.  I'll pick the ones 
favored for something like 6 days after full moon.

My plan on getting up at this time cannot include setting an alarm that would 
wake up my wife and that cannot be done.  So to implement the plan I'll drink 
about 8 oz of water in hopes there is a call of nature around the preferred 
time.

Looking at these familiar craters and mountain chains with the sun on the other 
side of the moon produces interesting shadows not see with a waxing moon 
surface.  I was struck by the shadows from Rupes Altai the other night, 
somthing not seen with a waxing moon.

I'll let you know if I wake up and am alert enough to setup the scope and 
observe for an hour or so.
