Sketch itself should be created only by 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.

Observe another Luna, Lunakhod, or Apollo mission site – in addition to describing lunar surface, observing notes should include mission name, date(s) of exploration and a brief description of significance Observe another Luna, Lunakhod, or Apollo mission site – in addition to describing lunar surface, observing notes should include mission name, date(s) of exploration and a brief description of significance Observe occultation (ingress, egress or graze) of a bright star, planet or planetary moon. Include exact time of event. (count as 1 OBSV; if both ingress behind & egress from behind Moon are logged, count as 2 OBSV) Observe a lunar eclipse; description and/or labeled sketches/images must as a minimum describe entry and event maximum (counts as 2 OBSV: #99 & #100) OPTIONAL TARGETS: may substitute for required tasks/targets Create a series of sketches or images that show daily phase/position change; 3 or more days/nights at approximately same hour (sub for 2 OBSV) Create two or more sketches or images, taken one month or more apart, that show change in Moon's path w/ respect to landmark(s) on the local horizon. Images should be taken with same equipment and at same magnification (sub for 2 OBSV) Create two or more images that depict the change in apparent diameter of the Moon at/near apogee and perigee.
