I was out looking at the 1Q Moon last night for 35 minutes. I'm a little embarrassed to say that my interest in the Lunar 100 has waxed and waned; my observations date back more than a year. One nice thing about Lunar observing is that I've made many checkmarks in broad daylight. Last night, I was finished at 9:15 – I have no more objects left that were visible. My count is around 75. Mare Marginis was very visible, so I guess I know which way the Moon was turned.
Last night was also my first time using S&T Field Map of the Moon. I had been using a book called "Discover the Moon" which had some gaps in it – probably 10-15 objects on the Lunar 100 aren't in it. The Map made life so much easier. I heartily recommend this $9 map to anyone interested in learning the Moon.
