Introduction to the lunar surface activity AstPy-7.

Students upload an image of the moon they took and then annotate it. From the image they calculate sizes and depths of craters using the SkyField package. Requires students to calcualte the resolution of their telescope (or camera). They can then compare their image to known data and the included Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) and Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) data.
