Observer Comments

Target DescriptionThe first two gallery images show the ten Maria/Seas listed as "Naked Eye" targets in the v9 checklist. Note that, since I actually imaged this with is a telescope, I've provided two additional gallery images that list six additional maria (sixteen total) that are readily visible using the Seestar.
Image Capture DescriptionThis full moon image was an opportunistic capture with my Seestar on a clear night with good visibility, just because. At the time I was not contemplating the AL Lunar Program.
