Observations of the Moon's shadowing effect on the cosmic ray flux were made by the single muon registration at the Baksan Underground Scintillation Telescope (BUST). A statistically significant deficit of muons (3 st.dev.) was found in the Moon direction. The experimental results were compared with the shadowing effect simulation for the BUST observation conditions. An experimental estimate of the angular resolution of the BUST for the single muon detection was obtained. The absence of systematic errors in the absolute position of the telescope and in the~muon arrival direction measurement was proved with an accuracy of the BUST angular resolution. It is substantiated that the evolution of the large-scale structure of the interplanetary magnetic field can be studied using the~observations of the Sun shadow in the galactic cosmic ray flux.
