Please excuse the somewhat off topic post, but I think you all would be most likely to have an answere for me. Last night I was observing the south east lunar limb (16"F5 Royce , 667X) and was observing a beutifil sunset over a large carter - Bailly, Lamark???- just on the SE limb with a central peak. Between 10am est and 12pm est the crater slowly filled with black and the central peak gradually dissapeared. It was spectacular, as if black water was rising and the peak submerged just before the level rose to the crater walls.
I am trying to identify which crater this was. It was roughly 250-300km across, slowly swallowed up as the terminator crept from east to west. Anyone know??
