This image of the waxing, slightly gibbous Moon was taken after public viewing on December 3, 2011, at 7:50 pm, with the 85mm Televue telescope.  The broad, smooth maria are visible at top, and white Stevinus Crater to the lower right.  Heavy cratering is seen in the lunar highlands along the terminator.
