Here's Ted Nichol II's handheld, afocal image of the Klaproth Sunset Ray that I discovered on Friday morning. The telescope used was a 17" f/15 classical Cassegrain. I believe that the exposure was 1/6 of a second.
Klaproth is the large crater on the right. The ray is the thin streak of light extending downwards.
Keep in mind that it is rather difficult to get a good picture of the typical lunar ray.
