Task or Task Description or Target Name Wood's Rükl       Count
Target #   LUNAR 100 Atlas        
    Catalog (chart)        
Create a sketch/map of the visible lunar surface:
1 Observe a Full Moon and sketch a large-scale (prominent features)  L-1
2 map depicting the nearside; disk of visible surface should be drawn at  L-1
3 least 5-inches in diameter. Sketch itself should be created only by  L-1
  observing the Moon, but maps or guidebooks may be used when   
  labeling sketched features.  Label all maria, prominent craters, and   
  major rays by the crater name they originated from.  
  (Counts as 3 observations (OBSV): #1, #2 & #3)  
  Observe these targets; provide brief descriptions:
