Hi all,
I just updated the solar system section with two lunar observing=20
reports. On May 11 2005 I observed Petavius and Rimae Petavius with the=20=
8 inch TAL Klevtzov-Cassegrain. Petavius is a large, complex floor=20
fractured crater near the eastern limb of the Moon. For a detailed=20
observing report and a digital image of the Petavius area follow this=20

The next day, on May 12 2005 I joined Leo, a fellow observer who lives=20=
just down the road, to observe the Moon through his new telescope, the=20=
TAL 250K, a 10-inch Klevtzov Cassegrain mounted on a Lichtenknecker=20
mount. The seeing wasn't too good, but we still had a lot of fun=20
observing the Moon, especially Petavius and the western Mare Crisium=20
area with two ghost craters and some old capes. For a more detailed=20
report and some digital images of the Moon and the new telescope follow=20=
