Supper time lunar observations from the Patio

We were eating our dinner on the patio on Wednesday night and noticed the moon directly over head. I ran in and brought the telescope out and we all took a gander. It’s hard to know what a 3 year old *actually* sees when she looks through an eyepiece. There is a tiny bit of technique to using these optics and you really have to make sure you are looking straight through. I asked Harriet what she saw on the moon and she said “circles” so I am fairly confident that she got a good look!

Here are some cute little backyard astronomers exploring the surface of the moon.
