Mike,

I was so enamored by that piece of the moon, that I went out in search of a larger chunk.

Congratulations Mike, You are now a Lunar Landlord!! I bought a sample, also. Same Northwest Africa region, but I don't know what the number designation means. Here's a post from nearly a year ago. https://assne.org/board/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=6902&p=53063&hilit=lunar+meteorite#p53063 Steve

But then again, I'm a homebody and I get motion sickness just riding an escalator. Why take the 240,000 mile journey, when I can get a similar view while standing i...

Hello!! I hope you've been getting out there on these cool, clear nights to take a look at the ringed-planet. For the past 2-3 weeks, I've been testing various methods of acquiring some images. The attached were taken with a ZWO 290MC webcam riding on the back of a Celestron 11" SCT. Dome at Ni...

Nice work.
I was wondering if you’d catch some of the dark nebulae near the core and there it is!!
