Crumby's Telescope Tomfoolery Notes - The Moon

It's fun to look at the moon right now while it's still light. Today the moon appeared a tad over half full. The moon is waxing. The moon is hurtling along the ecliptic at a pleasant declination at around 5:30 PM, CST, DST. These are all certitudes respecting the moon.

Lleu Llaw set up the Great Red Tube. Then out I went to the telescopery area to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee and employ the Great Red Tube on the moon. The moon is very easy to locate in the Great Red Tube. So I picked out a nice crater or two on the moon and began to study that crater with 4, 5 and 6mm Ortho eps. That was interesting, but I won't go into why it was interesting in this venue.

Then I happened to notice that the sky was bluer than usual for these parts and that the moon, looked like it was in an ocean so that the sky seemed to be lapping at the various craters and what not other features on the moon. Lotsa fun!!!!
