It's quite hazy out right now due to an approaching storm and the moon is very low, about 15 degrees above the horizon. Hopefully as it rises it'll break through some of the clouds for a better look.

Cloudy here too, bummer. Wonder what this does to those high tide areas, if anything. You would think so anyway.

It was bright here.

No change in color, but the craters had better depth, and around the perimeter the fact that the moon is not perfectly flat became more apparent.
The huge crater at about the 8:30-8:45PM position on the perimeter was spectacular. Must have been a good one back whenever.Last edited by George Grand; 03-20-2011 at 11:55 AM.

The moon was very bright and stood out very bold in the clear sky here.
