Oberon is the outermost of the five major moons of Uranus and the second largest of them, surpassed in size only by Titania.
Its surface appears with a copperish color to the observer and it also has a huge lonely mountain measuring close to 4 miles in height.
Orbiting Uranus on its side every 13.5 days, Oberon is a distant, faint target that rewards patience, long focal lengths and careful processing.
