The moon is one of the easier astronomical objects to find. It is large and repeats its cycle every 28 days. Beautiful when viewed with the unaided eyes, amazing when seen in modest binoculars, and awesome in a modest telescope. With the weather not being ideal for astronomy, the moon presents a friendly companion and a familiar face. The best parts to view are when the terminator, the line between daylight and nighttime, is nearby. This is when the shadows are the longest so you see more details.
