We often have friends, family and kids over to take their first look at the moon through a quality telescope. We use a 4" refractor for two reasons. First. almost everyone instinctively understands which end of the scope to look through, which is definitely not the case with a Newtonian or even an SCT like a Celestron 8. Second, many first time viewer are surprised by the brightness that hits their eye, and they become nervous about damaging their vision. The smaller aperture does a good job of reducing the moonlight to tolerable levels. And we use a high quality plossl (eyepiece) from 24mm to 32mm, since they are easy to look through and easy to focus for the novice observer.<br /><br />
So, when a first time observers looks at the moon through a quality scope, three things inevitably occur: everyone says, &quot;Wow!" a couple of times, they quietly realize they have no idea what they are looking at, and they always ask where did the moon landings occur. Here’s where this map, which is uploaded onto my iPad. comes in handy. Since the map is made from a prime focus photograph thorough this same scope, the scale is pretty close to what they are seeing through the eyepiece. I hold the iPad, and then ask them to start identifying what they see through the scope with what’s on the map. Their ability to name the features they are seeing is nice experience for them and us. After identifying the major maria, it is an easy segue into talking about how the maria were formed, and why the molten magma migrated to the nearside of the Moon facing Earth. I also like to briefly explain the age differences between Tycho (108 million years) and Copernicus (800 million years) in the contest of their rays. Astronomy outreach is an important part of being an amateur astronomer.. our fondest hope is that the twenty minutes we spend with a first time observer will lead them onto a new path of discovery.<br /><br />

I was busy taking pictures with my DMK 21-618 and a plane passed through my view, so I took 3 seperate images in registax and stichet them together, so now I see how sharp this DMK 21-618 camera take pictures ;-)<br /><br />

<br /><br />
This is a fascinating image because of the way it has been processed. The mountains are full of angular roughness but the maria look like they have been filtered to smooth out details, as if the lava flows were very fluid and froze with a nice smooth surface. This treatment emphasizes the broad surfaces of the maria rather than their details, and makes the mountains stand out as sharply different terrains. One thing that pops out is a broad swell east of Aristillus and pushing up against the south part of the Caucasus Mountains. LRO QuickMap [http://bit.ly/1fSLcNE shows] that this swell rises about 400 m above the mare to the west, and is partly made of the older lavas cut by the Theaetetus Rilles, but includes Imbrium lavas too. Many swells face up against individual mountains or mountain walls, but I don't know why.<br /><br />

<br /><br />
Mike's wonderful new image of Tranquillitatis makes the Lamont region look like the gnarled hand of a hard worker. Narrow and wide ridges cause the mare surface to undulate at different wavelengths, a complexity that will evaporate with a slightly higher illumination into a flat dark lava plain. For me, the most interesting part of the image - meaning there is something seldom seen to enjoy and ponder - is the bottom half. In particular, the segmented broad ridge that crosses the south end of the mare between [http://bit.ly/1i1HTlQ Censorinus B and the Apollo 11 landing area]. At some places this is seen (courtesy of LRO QuickMap) to be a fault, whose north side rises 100-150 m. The linear tectonic feature is roughly continuous with the Guttenberg Rilles family, although the individual rilles are at a different angle. This family and the mare tectonic feature are radial to the center of Imbrium, as are the straight ridge from Maskelyne to Lamont, the ridge that crosses northern Lamont, and the Cauchy Fault. The basin's formation must have had some structural influence on the orientation of the ridges and fractures.<br /><br />

I am watching the first minutes of COSMOS and remembering that the nearest cosmic neighbor is our Moon. <br />
There is an infinity of galaxies to explore, not to mention multiverse bubbles, but nowhere in the cosmos can <br />
our personal exploration see more details than at the Moon. Damian's excellent image shows a detail that<br />
often is not visible, and rarely captured as clearly. Humboldt is a glorious large crater that everyone would <br />
know if it were easily visible from Earth. We see it obliquely, looking across a rille-cracked floor, to the dark <br />
lavas of Mare Australe to the southeast. But now Neil Tyson has just finished with his story of being hosted <br />
by Carl Sagan, and its time for me to finish too.<br />

Mars has a [http://science1.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2001/ast24may_1/ face], but the best the Moon can offer is an [https://the-moon.us/wiki/Lunar_X X]. The face is nothing other than an accident of topography and lighting, and that is the same for the X. There is no geologic import to the X, it is just the close approach of [http://bit.ly/1hZa2uo three craters' rims], and yet it is a pleasure to unexpectedly see it, as Sally did. I never plan my looking at the Moon; with the restrictions I have due to houses, trees, clouds and coldness, I take whatever I can get, so am surprised and delighted every time.<br /><br />

[https://the-moon.us/wiki/Mare_Undarum Mare Undarum]; is there a more forgettable name or place on the Moon? I took this photo with low expectations. After all what of interest could be there? Then I noticed the concentric crater, Apollonius N. I had been aware of its location while preparing a [http://www2.lpod.org/wiki/July_28,_2013 paper] for last year’s ALCON convention. Then it dawned on me that other concentrics were in the general area. I began searching, and sure enough, the concentric craters near Schubert N and by Dubyago were also visible on the same frame. Then the obvious concentric crater Firmicus C popped into view. It had not been on my list of craters for the ALCON presentation; how did I miss it? Closer scrutiny of the area along with some internet surfing, plus a little reviewing of the LROC ACT-REACT QuickMap revealed two other possible concentric craters which are marked by arrows with question marks. Wow! There are four concentric craters in a single high-resolution frame plus two other possible concentric craters. Mare Undarum has turned out to be quite an interesting place after all. Concentric craters have much shallower depths than normal craters of similar size and appear to have been modified by pressures under the surface that elevated their floors and created the inner rim or toroid. Close scrutiny of the QuickMap hints that other small craters in the area also have had their original depths and interiors modified without the development of the inner toroid. It makes me wonder if concentric craters are only part of a spectrum of craters of similar size and age that were modified by volcanic intrusion some time after their formation.<br /><br />
