The rotating globe shows locations of folks who visit LPOD. The most recent visits include location names - so you can see who else is on when you visit. For example, if you see &quot;Wheeling/ West Virginia&quot; I am probably editing an LPOD. After a few minutes just a small red dot appears.<br />

A Perfect View

LPOD-Dec1-10.jpg
image by Jordillo, Montserrat Pinazo/Malaga, Spain

This is one of the most wonderful views you can see through an eyepiece. I always start observing with a low power view of the entire Moon, just as Jordillo has captured here. I look to see what is showing up along the terminator for later high power examination. And then I look a little further into the bright zone, to see features that will be great to observe with about 30° lighting. Finally I scan the limb to see what features - such as the Orientale dark mare patches - lean our way. Then I put in a shorter focal length eyepiece and repeat the process.
