Man in the Moon figure (Pareidolia) in the full moon.
Observer Comments
| Target Description | This is a reasonable illusion of a man wearing sunglasses. To my mind, however, the "Woman in the Moon" is much more compelling. |
| Image Capture Description | This full moon image was an opportunistic capture with my Seestar on a clear night with good visibility. At the time I was not contemplating the AL Lunar Program. |
