Observation 12-20-10 Part 1

12-21-10
10:00 PM

I recieved a telescope for Christmas and wanted to try it out. It is a Meade Newtonian Telescope. I decided to use the 10mm eyepiece and look up at the moon. The mon was in the full phase, so all the craters and gorges were clearly visible. The moon was really bright so it wa hard to look at for a long time, ecspecially becuase of the telescope. The moon was about 50 degrees high and in the Northeast. It was a clear night and I was in my drive way.
