Thanks

"Thank you Lord for thinking about me, I'm alive and doing fine."

"Near" the Apollo 11 Landing Site

I think the forecast for the night was better than it actually was by a long shot.  After checking the collimation I would have guessed it was 5-6/10, but looking at the focus/collimation test on Castor (great double BTW), it was a mere 4/10.  I setup to grab Venus and the moon before a longish night on Saturn.  One of my music buddies, John, suggested that the Apollo 11 landing site was in prime view and that I should try imaging it.  I did and was happy to have a fresh target even though the seeing was poor, thanks John!

I actually found the google moon maps useful, have a look and see if I got it or not!
