Description

The moon last night 9-25-17, in its waxing crescent phase, always provides interesting crater views along the terminator (the line just emerging from darkness). The craters, such as Theophilus in the center not only show their walls, but the two white dots are mountains within the crater that the Sun is illuminating just their peaks only. They look like eyes.

The image was captured by my Celsetron 6SE and Nikon D3100. It was actually a 2 minute movie that freeware software like PIPP, Autostakkert, and Registax6 can make into one composite image of the best video stills.
