I notice some of the moon maps say they show the locations of the Apollo landing sites. That was a long time ago. China currently has a rover on the moon but I seen no moon map that mentions it. Where is it at on the moon?

I just submitted a request for a photo that is to be taken tonight and sent to my email address. Here is what I requested. Target: Pleiades Object Type: Star Cluster Distance: 440 light years Constellation: Taurus Field of View: wide Exposure Time: 30 Seconds Filter Selection: none Isn't this what Betty Hill's drawing was of? |

Wikipedia has a nice copy of the star map. The constellation is Reticulum. |

Subaru is the Japanese name for the Pleiades star cluster M45, or "The Seven Sisters" (one of whom tradition says is invisible - hence only six stars in the Subaru logo), which in turn inspires the logo and alludes to the companies that merged to create FHI |

Hopefully we can get some pictures for free. Did you see you can process them in different ways after you get them? |

So I chose the wrong stars? I guess so, but I'm not finding those stars on the site. |

Reticulum isn't one of the targets we can choose at that site. I seen its a southern constellation that we can't even see from here |
