I think it is Barrow. - I calibrated your photo into Jim Mosher's Lunar Terminator Visualization Tool (assuming the time of shooting 10th July 2008 at 04.00 UT, colongitude being 353.917). Labelled some features there. Barrow has distinctive formation, as can be seen from this Lunar orbiter pic of Barrow. Hope this helps - sorry I cannot explain more of this! Anyhow, here's a link to a somewhat similar observation... and a link to LPOD May 13, 2008 with explanations by Chuck Wood and Jim Mosher... Be well - and thanks for sharing this interesting pic with us! EDIT: added the LPOD link info -------------------- Share - and you shall have it all Timo Keski-Petäjä CtheMoon Observation shelter KuuMaja (MoonHut) TAL 250K*Celestron C8-N*SkyWatcher Skymax 150 Pro*TAL1(Mizar)*EQ6 Pro SynScan*Celestron Advanced GT (CG-5 GOTO)*Baader Hyperion Clickstop Zoom 8-24*17 mm UWA-70*TeleVue BIG 2x Barlow*Celestron 2x Barlow Ultima SV Series Edited by Mare Nectaris (07/10/08 11:13 AM) Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on Unusual Shadow in Lunar Crater Clive Gibbons 07/10/08 09:31 AM Re: Unusual Shadow in Lunar Crater Clive Gibbons   07/10/08 09:32 AM Re: Unusual Shadow in Lunar Crater Mare Nectaris   07/10/08 10:48 AM Re: Unusual Shadow in Lunar Crater Clive Gibbons   07/10/08 11:09 AM Re: Unusual Shadow in Lunar Crater Mr Onions   07/10/08 12:52 PM Re: Unusual Shadow in Lunar Crater Clive Gibbons   07/10/08 02:18 PM Re: Unusual Shadow in Lunar Crater frank5817   07/11/08 01:03 AM Re: Unusual Shadow in Lunar Crater Clive Gibbons   07/11/08 09:06 AM Re: Unusual Shadow in Lunar Crater frank5817   07/11/08 09:16 AM Re: Unusual Shadow in Lunar Crater Mare Nectaris   07/11/08 03:13 PM Re: Unusual Shadow in Lunar Crater Stephen65   07/11/08 11:08 PM Re: Unusual Shadow in Lunar Crater LivingNDixie   07/12/08 04:12 PM Re: Unusual Shadow in Lunar Crater frank5817   07/12/08 06:55 PM Re: Unusual Shadow in Lunar Crater Stephen65   07/11/08 04:05 AM Re: Unusual Shadow in Lunar Crater kfred   07/11/08 05:43 AM Re: Unusual Shadow in Lunar Crater Mr Onions   07/10/08 10:28 AM Extra information 1 registered and 1 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
