OK gang,

The weather is starting to change so now is the time to get out there and work on the Lunar 100. All 100 crater can be seen is a 6"scope. I did this is just two days so lets see who can beat my record.

I challange this group to do the Lunar 100 in one night.

So I guess you can do the whole 100 when the moon is full ?

Some of the objects identified in the S&T 100 are pretty obscure and tiny. I think that the full moon washes out too much detail, and the longer shadows of the waxing or waning moon provide better contrast for one to knock 'em down.

Yes the full moon does wipe out some detail but if you have a moon filter you can still do it. I use the polerizing filter and adjust the amount of light I see. I am working on another cert for the moon but this one I have to find other then just the craters. Cant wait to start it. Just finished the test that went with it. This is just for fun but will also recieve the cert.
