COMMENTS:

The
First Quarter Moon is perhaps the best phase to observe the wealth of
craters and mountain ranges within reach of even the smallest, cheapest
telescope. Scanning along the terminator, the boundary between
day and night, is breathtaking to observe and offers many targets to
photograph.
