Summary:
Beautiful Moon in the sky is good to point the telescope and makes my crewmates excited, but sometimes it is not happy for astronomers. I wanted to try M42 again, but I felt the Moon is close to the nebula and rather to take photos of the Moon instead. So, I spent the first an hour just outside of the observatory (no doubt of inside the pressurized area) to capture our home and my workplace with the Moon. Then, I started up the telescope, moved it to the Moon. It was so brilliant!! Especially, our commander was delighted with it.
Objects viewed:
Moon
Problems encountered:
None.
Post-Scriptum: I will start observing Mars from next time.
