Description

Two days ago I've had an opportunity of bewildering the beauty of the first sunlight touching the bottom of the Ptolemaeus crater. The light is barely visible and was not easy to register with sufficient dynamic range. The shadows characteristic for this prominent crater are there, with their shapes extremely elongated.

All in all, I hope it is a nice treat to see the sun rising barely over the crater's edge and on the first day of the year 2023 see the first light touch the bottom of that huge pit!
