Lunar 100

The Lunar 100 is a list of lunar features compiled by Dr. Charles A. 'Chuck' Wood, ordered by increasing difficulty of viewing or imaging. All of them are worth a look anytime, favourable illumination and libration permitting. One of the biggest challenges of lunar imaging is a complete coverage of the Lunar 100. Submit your image to the MAS gallery using the link below. Your image will be annotated with your initials.
