Moon Rabbit

This image of the moon shows the moon one day after full phase when the moon was about 97% illuminated. It was taken with a TEC140 telescope, a Vixen GPD2 German equatorial mount, and Olympus Pen. As you can see, there are a number of creators. Under good viewing conditions, you should be able to see some of the following features: Bright region around Copernicus, Bright region around Kepler, Faintly shaded area near Sacrobosco, Mare Nectaris, Mare Humorum, Lubiniesky region, Gassendi region, Plinius region, Mare Vaporum, Sinus Medii, Dark spot at foot of Mons Huygens, and Riphean Mountains. Bear in mind it's not always a rabbit!
