ON Nov. 17 I digiscoped the Moon and while juicing up the image I noticed a feature I had not seen before. It appears to be a fault or rille extending from the base of the Apinnines to the crest. It is just to the left of Conon, the largest crater seen. This is an 8.52x enlargement of the area in question. Any comments? By the way, My scope was an 82mm spotter with a 30x eyepiece. Combining the zoom focal length of my camera with the magnification of the crop, I figure the image to be around 340X.
