Of course I do Robert! The Moon was 5 days old, 30% illuminated and high in the SW skies of Southern California. Venus was also in the same section of sky as it is now.
I used my 6" f/8 Edmund Scientific Newtonian to observe the Moon while Apollo 8 was in lunar orbit....probably why I am such a lunatic observer AND collector of 21 lunar meteorites including some of the best in the world made possible by you. Happy Holidays to all and may we live in an age where the 1.5 second transmission delay of astronauts on the Moon occurs again!

Also, I'm sure every one knows already, but it was 40 years ago today, Christmas Eve 1968, when Apollo 8 became the first manned craft to orbit the Moon. Wow. Forty years ago today. Do all you guys who were alive then remember that night like I do? (I KNOW you do, Greg (LUNAtic) Redfern! ;-) Best wishes to all, Robert Woolard ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
