A dispatch from Felton Davis of the Second Avenue Star Watchers... five months into retirement... Can't believe we dragged the telescope out at 9:30 pm, when the almost-full Moon rose up very low on the horizon. It disappeared behind the trees within minutes of rising and was not visible until much later, going down over the Public Hotel.
You can read more about Felton in this article by Elizabeth Kuster (who does not accept his retirement!) in
Astronomy Magazine:

The full moon in the south shines through my bedroom window. It is bright enough to "moon shadows" on my bed.
That is a very nice write-up in Astronomy magazine. :)
