Hello! This is exactly what I wanted to do myself (looking at the moon for adjustements) but where I live, and at this time of the year, the moon just doesn't come anywhere where I can see it (it only stays above my block, and the angles are just too extreme. Might have to go on top of the block for this one, and carry the telescope with me. I'll keep you up to date.
