A man I used to work with (in the Army) was a HUGE ‘Telescope’ Guy and he kept a nightly track on whatever the Moon was doing.
He ended up having one of the craters named for him. The ‘Darling’ Crater. He was so excited! Can’t blame him. :)
He’s the one that got me interested in telescopes and the case for a pair of good binoculars, the Moon and ‘All Things Spacey’ way back when.
What a great story! Thanks for sharing it!😀ðŸ”
