Sunshine Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 It seems while observing the moon last night, I have discovered a demon, just like the face on Mars, I will be heading to Geneva to accept my Nobel prize soon lol. Surely others can tell me the correct name for this formation which I have magnified. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alien 13 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) Must be near a burial ground, lots of skulls to the left also. Looking at the main image again it does remind me of Santi Claws.. Alan Edited May 2, 2020 by Alien 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 @Sunshineย tellย us what time you took it and roughly where along the terminator and Iโll have a trawl for yer and see! Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Also, what scope type.. newtonian/refractor were you using, so I know which way up you were looking! Looks like youโre not in the UK, so *roughly* where you are would help, though I think Iโm narrowing in on a likely location. L-R inverted image.....

Peter Hello, that night I was just using my phone to capture random images, I thought I would mention that to explain the bad quality. Having said that, the images were shot this past Friday at 10:05pm from Stouffvile Ontario, Canada which is just outside of Toronto Canada. The scope used is an Orion Eon 115mm triplet 805mm focal length. For those shots I was almost certainly using my 9mm Morpheus combined with the TeleVue 2.5x powermate but, I may have used the zoom feature on my phone to bring the artifact in a bit closer.

PeterW Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Simulated vs yours, Wurtzbauer. Pitatus and rima Hesiodus lead me to it. ย peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
