Lunar X - 2019 JUN 09-10

[CentaurZ]

The Lunar X may be seen by telescopic observers in North America during the night of 2019 JUN 09-10 for an approximately four-hour period centered on 01:06 CDT (06:06 UT). The X should appear as the Sun rises on the clustered rims of the craters Blanchinus, La Caille and Purbach, while a waxing Half Moon graces the sky.

This is something to check-off from your astronomical “to-do” list. Photos and descriptions of the Lunar X would be welcome additions to this thread.
