Abstract The effect of cosmic ray shadowing by the Moon is observed by recording the single muon component with the Baksan underground scintillation telescope (BUST). A statistically significant (three standard deviations) deficit of muon intensity in the Moon's direction is discovered. A comparison of the experimental results with the simulation of the shadowing effect for the BUST observations is made. An estimate of the angular resolution of the BUST for the single muon component is derived experimentally for the first time. The results and the technique developed are planned to be used for observations of the Sun's shadow.
