Bright Albedo feature near crater Atlas

[Hawksmoor]

Having recently imaged the Moon at first quarter in the vicinity of craters Atlas and Hercules, I was intrigued by the bright area of illumination nearby to Atlas. It did not appear to be mentioned in any rudimentary maps I possess so I wonder if any of you keen eyed lunar observers can help. Presumably it is sunlight reflected from a crater wall or similar. the small crater Atlas A is mentioned as having high albedo but this does not appear to be in the right location. I attach my image taken at f=2250mm. Any help in naming this feature would be appreciated. Regards George

Mmmmm im drawing a blank here... 

not listed as a satellite to Atlas or other.. but it is a feature..

 

geology wise, it appears as the flank material in yellow (above Atlas A)

nice image though..

Thanks Fozzle for taking the time to look. It is my eldest grandson Felix's 16th birthday today, so in the absence of any other name, I decided to call it Felix Ridge. 😃

Your welcome! A worthy title.. the Felix Ridge.. I'll look out for it in the future.

Quickmap can zoom in incredibly deep. There are many boulders in this crater
