Description

Apparently the Lunar X feature is visible only for a few hours at 1st quarter, visible in the lower portion of this image. Zoom in on Albategnius (136km) and Klein (44km) at the top of this image and view the small crater at the tip of the peak in Albategnius, a nice feature to capture. Single image taken July 8, 2016 at 1st quarter. 14.5" Zambuto Mirror Starmaster Dobsonian with Canon T3i camera.
