Objective:  To view and image the Full Cold Moon which was suppose to rise on this evening.

Report:

• Shortly after dark a thin layer of clouds covered the sky, but were see-through as far as the very bright full Moon went.  Cloud cover increased as evening went on.
• Used a moon filter when visually observing.  Helped a great deal in cutting down glare which was relief to the eyeball.
• Many bright, small impact zones were visible across the face of the Moon.
• No shooting stars or satellites were seen.
