11% moon and an interesting feature.

[Radman40]

Here is my offering for the 11% moon yesterday evening.  I normally cant get my main scope on a young moon as it always  behind the house. I was lucky last night as it was visible in a small gap between my house and the neighbours.  I had a 45 min window to get the image and just made it.

Looking at the image there is an interesting bright feature  on the terminator toward the bottom of the image. This caught my eye when I was looking at the moon before imaging.  You can seen this on Bizibilders image also (above).   I think this is the rising sun catching the walls of the crater Biela.  Virtual Moon Atlas says  this crater has steep walls.   Its amazing how much light can be reflected from ab object that only reflects back 12% of the light incident on it.

This consists of 5 panes. 10% of 2000 images.
