Rona (a Woman) in the Moon (when full)


First came across this one as part of this Program. Not a huge fan... but I did my best.

Observer Comments

Target DescriptionNot a huge fan of this one... perhaps it looks better from the southern hemisphere, as it's apparently Australian in origin. I thought the AL's markup didn't handle Rona's feet legitimately, so I struggled with this for a bit.
Image Capture DescriptionThis 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.
