Facts (sample).
Why the shadow line
At full moon the Sun shines straight down and the Moon looks flat. Near first quarter it lights the craters from the side, so their walls and peaks throw long shadows: that is where everyone looks.
Come out on a club night
Club nights are free for members and open to anyone on moon and planet nights. Bring warm clothes; we bring the telescopes.
