This image of the moon was obtained on Saturday night, 10 May. This is two days before the full moon on Monday. The full moon of May is known as the "Flower Moon".
The equipment used was a Celestron C6 SCT and an Olympus E-M5iii camera.

| 13.4-d moon. 10 May. |
The moon's image is slightly too large to completely fit on the four-thirds sensor. The telescope focal length derived from this image is 1555 mm.
These two crops from the terminator region were rotated to put the terminator at the top:
The crater near top center with the central peak is named Pythagorus. It has a diameter of about 130 km (81 mi).
The crater near center bottom with the rays emanating outward is Kepler, about 32 km (20 mi) diameter.
