lunar Searchlight Barrow Crater

[DaveGibbons]

Hi all, I was out last night viewing the moon late evening with 4" F11 refractor and noticed a feature not seen before. Grabbed my web cam and took a few shots before moon dropped below houses. It's the area surrounding the North pole. It shows a crack in the wall of Barrow crater with sunlight streaming through like a searchlight illuminating the elevated back wall and crater floor, just about make out a few low elevation features within the light fan. Looks better visually but I am not an imager and the seeing was poor. Taken with my excellent Lyra Optic 4" f11 achromat , Toucam webcam and 2X barlow.

Cheers

Dave

Nice image Dave, the "searchlight" effect is clear to see
