Hello Jurago

Glad you enjoyed it! Watching the move move is indeed wonderful.

A suggestion, get a neautral density filter. This will dim the light from the moon and you will then be able to watch it without hurting your eyes.

Also, oddly enough, a full moon is not the best time to observe it. Look at it through the month, near the terminator (near where the shadow is). You can then get a better feel for the craters, and sometimes see the tips of mountains in the middle of a crater.

Also, the little finder scope can be adjusted so that it points pretty much to the center of where the big scope is looking.

Enjoy

Philip
