Very true Paul.
The Moon is such a wonderful object and as you've rightly pointed out, something of a pleasant surprise.
It's weird to think it's only six months since I took my first astropix and like most people starting out the Moon was my target. I've loved the moon all my life but once it became an object in a scope and then later in a webcam, well....
The thing with the Moon for me, is to plan my viewing. I started out all over the place. That was great for a beginning but now I'm more methodical. I try to plan my lunar viewing. The more attention I pay to detail, the more detail captures my attention. And there are so many destinations on the Moon
