RVG#4 1. We were using a small backyard type of telescope. The telescope was new and of a decent but I suppose average quality. 2. We were using whatever eye piece gave us the overall clearest view of the Moon. It is my opinion that this overall clear view of the Moon contributed to the crystal clear very in focus view of the object and it's surface, and the extremely clear sight of the Moon's changed light. 3. Basically I think that you don't want to be in really close to the Moon. I believe an overview type of viewing perspective will prove to be best overall as opposed to a very tight in close view of the Moon. Once again this is only my opinion. If a person had the luxury of more than one telescope then perhaps both the in close and an overview type of viewing perspective could be used to great advantage. I think that this would only be the case if the viewer understood the fast paced timing of the sequence of events. 4. The overview type of viewing perspective is the type of view I had. This allowed me to see the overall scene. Once the object had settled into place in front of the Moon, I was able to see space to the left of the object and I was also able to see over the top of the object. 5. With the Moon positioned slightly to the right in the viewer everything seemed to be framed perfectly. The object on the left and the view of the Moon, the background for the valley, on the right. If the Moon had been perfectly centered in the viewer then there could be a chance that the object's left horizon, the left side of the object, along with some of the object's surface, may not have been visible to me.6. The "higher" power small backyard telescope that provides a much closer look at the Moon may not give a viewer a chance to see the overall scene quite as well as the "lower" power telescope. On the other hand a closer tighter view of the Moon itself would allow for a very in close view of the spot were the newly formed sculpted and shaped Ancient One Is created.
