Participants will successively observe four lunar features through telescopes, while simultaneously following along with Power Point presentations on each, displayed on a large screen next to telescopes

• This session is for people interested in serious, dedicated lunar observing
  (otherwise you may find this event boring, tiring and tedious)
• This is an outdoor event
  (All observing, presentations and food/drinks will be OUTSIDE not inside)
• Telescope time may be limited if you do not bring your own
  (So, bring your own scope if can—access to other scopes may be limited)
• People may need to stand for the duration of the event since scopes may take up most of the available space
• Please be on time—formal program starts promptly at 7:00 p.m.
• Arrive early enough to set up scopes and eat before program starts

During this two-hour informal observing session, participants will discuss lunar lists and observe some of the features which will be visible on this evening’s first quarter Moon.

A brief introductory PowerPoint presentation will proceed the observing to help familiarize observers with the content and purpose of the lunar lists.

There will also be a brief presentation on how to use PowerPoint to supplement Chuck Wood’s Lunar 100 list. It is hoped that members will leave this session and continue working to complete the lists on their own.

During this three-hour session, club member Howard A. Eskildsen will show
members how to image the Moon including target selection, image acquisition and processing.
Some targets of interest along the terminator of the nearly full Moon will be the craters Grimaldi
and Hevelius.

Howard states with regard to this upcoming session:

"This is a neglected, but very interesting area of the Moon.á Another feature that will be well seen
is Planetia Descensus where Luna 9 made the first soft landing on the Moon.  The outer rim of
Mare Orientale will be visible and favorably librated and Schickard and Wargentin will be nicely
illuminated.  The small impact basins of Bailly and Schiller-Zucchius will be nicely seen and the
south polar area should be interesting.  The fascinating ray markings on Mare Procellarum should
show nicely and Aristarchus too.  In addition maybe we can dispel some of the misgivings we
have about near full Moon observing.  I look forward to it."
