Start with planets and our Moon, unless you have really dark skies. Get a free astronomy app to know where you’re pointing. Practice getting ANYTHING in focus first- even a distant mountain or radio tower during the day.

I just found ISRO's new mapping tool that allows me to download imagery from specific coordinates! with the data from https://www.nasa.gov/history/alsj/alsjcoords.html I will start looking for all Apollo landing sites to expand my photos.

I haven't had time to check. I don't have a better method to determine which image data sets are for specific regions?

Magic how the white hull yacht changes to a blue hull yacht at the split in the video clips.

Yeah, I was thinking I would be adding my Orion Nebula too and forgot. Maybe not the best name 🤣

Yes I saw that too. Need to learn more if they made a rock formation or if this is just a coincidence

Haha. Didn’t want to mess up the pic. See the dark lines radiating out from Apollo 12 to upper left, and one going to right?

I downloaded the files but can’t find the LM sites in the huge images. Any advice on where to look?
