Craters Pitatus and Hesiodus Sunrise Ray
Craters Pitatus and the Hesiodus sunrise ray on October 7 05:00 UT (10:00 PM PDT).
This is a 9 day old waxing moon. Telescope: 10 inch f/7.3 reflector
using a 6m Vixen Lanthanum eyepiece for 309x. Pitatus is a flooded walled plain.
Rimae Pitatus, the clefts within Pitatus are visible in the sketch. The ray breaks
through a crumbled wall between Pitatus and the small crater Hesiodus.
To me the ray appeared to curve a bit. (Rukl 54)
