Possibly Moon & Stars ?

We grew them this year and they are absolutely the best watermelons we have ever grown.

I was thinking the same thing but these only have what seems like a bunch of stars. There are no huge moon yellow spots, just lots of tiny yellow spots. They are good though.

Maybe it's Harvest Moon Watermelon?

I think you are right. They are round, not oblong like you can see in this picture. They do say it's a seedless variety but mine are loaded with large black seeds.

Mine are the same thing. Just a lot of stars. I bought the seeds thru seedsavers.org They were listed as Moon & Stars Cherokee & I can honestly say they are delicious. At least this year. They will definitely be back again.
