[KingClinton]

This is a old article but still relevant today.
I knew a few of these and learned something new.

My "Add to viewing list" is becoming a huge file! So much to see, so little time.

Thanks! I’ve added this to my bookmarks for future reference. Growing up in Houston glued to the Apollo missions has given me a special affinity with the Moon. I’ve known some of these asterisms but not all.

Very cool Clinton, I can add a couple of new targets to view.

I think most of us have heard of and seen the X and Y features.
I have not seen or heard of the others before this.
Have fun hunting them down and do let us know if you see them.

Very serendipitous you should bring this up. I am almost done with the new 5-year Lunar X and V schedule. I only have 2027 and 2028 left to calculate. You should see it by the 1st!

Cheers,

Here’s another one for you. Last night, I observed a “tall man” standing on the edge of the Moon!

Thanks JT, I see it's posted up, nice work.
Now to put your thinking cap on and devise a list for the others?

I will look into that, although no promises.

You can try catch the so called "Jewelled handle" over the next few days, wishing you clear skies and good luck!
