Mare Orientale this weekend, no more excuse this time

For those who have not have a glimpse of this rare crater on the lunar surface, get ready your scope for this weekend.

When: 29th Jan - 2nd Feb
The moon is estimated to rise at around 10pm. Should reach zenith at around 4am.

What to look out for: firstly hunt for grimaldi, then continue moving towards the edge of the moon and look for 2 streaks. That would be part of the Mare Orientale crater.

For those with basic astrophotography setup, this should be part of your collection. Rare glimpse, yet easy to capture.
