There is so much flaring, it is hard to see details. As with my daylight observation on 6\/16\/05, Mare Tranquilitatis and Fecunditatis were the darkest features. Tycho&#8217;s white splot also became apparent after staring for a few seconds. Oceanus Procelarum didn&#8217;t look like a single entity. The western limb of the moon was hard to discern. I was able to make out the &#8220;Man in the Moon&#8221;, and &#8220;The Rabbit&#8221;. But the &#8220;Woman in the Moon&#8221; was a hard sell. I see the features that make her up, but it&#8217;s a stretch to me.<\/p>\n<table width=\"470\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding-left=\"4\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Subject<\/b><\/td>\n<td>Mare Imbrium, Mare Frigorus, Mare Serenitatis, Mare Crisium, Mare Tranquilitatis, Mare Fecunditatis, Mare Nectaris, Mare Vaporum, Mare Nubium, Mare Humorum, Lacus Somniorum, Sinus Medii, Tycho, Oceanus Procelarum<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Classification<\/b><\/td>\n<td>Lunar Seas, Crater<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Position<\/b><\/td>\n<td>Full Disc<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Phase\/Age<\/b><\/td>\n<td>16.5 days old<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Date\/Time<\/b><\/td>\n<td>August 22, 2005 &#8211;
