X and V on moon

#1

Post by Ben Cartwright SASS »


got a new smart scope the Seestar S50 and last night was trying it out in the Lunar mode. it as a 2mb sensor so a little lite on quality but it does ok, using it for the Messiers
Anyhow here is the moon from last night a friend looked at it and said I captured the X and V features, not really sure what they are but here it is

You certainly did!

They're only there, on the terminator, for a couple of hours each month when the Moon is a tad over 50% lit.
