Lunar viewing nights are held monthly at Whiteman Park at different phases of the moon.Apart from viewing the moon and any planets that are visible, a popular activity on these nights is drawing craters or lunar features. A camera from the eyepiece to a monitor gives a close-up view of the moon's surface to make the challenge of drawing details easier. Drawing a crater or lunar feature usually means taking much more notice of detail and some drawings are quite spectacular. The drawings are displayed at the annual social night. Using this set-up also allows for wandering over the whole of the visible moon's surface and seeing it in detail
