Al-Paslow > The X can be seen in right hand side of this image. Oct 25, 2009 time 19:05 PM EDT. it is interesting to note that this picture was taken in a daytime sky, as sunset was 6:26 pm.
Thus images of the X are possible with astronomical telescopes late in the day!

$Al-Paslow > This is an image Lunar module pilot Bean signed that I took of the moon from my home on the evening of April 9, 2009. I used my 4 inch Edmund F-15 Refractor ( from the 1960's) with a Nikon 990 Digital Camera. Mr Bean was impressed with this image and askewd to keep a copy for himself. So I gave him two!!$

Al-Paslow > The march 3, 2009 image also shows the Lunar "V" to some extent. While the Lunar V is feature comprised of the mountain range near the Ukert crater area.

When the sun's latitude is near the Moon's equator, the Ukert "V" becomes prominent at nearly the same time as the Lunar X. When the Sun is at its maximum latitude north of the equator, the "V" is prominent before the "X" is clear; while the reverse is true when the Sun is south of the equator.

The above image, of the Lunar "V" shows the V formation rather well , but not in this case a terminator view. However the "V" is quite well defined in this picture.

The X can be seen in right hand side of this image. Oct 25, 2009 time 19:05 PM EDT. it is interesting to note that this picture was taken in a daytime sky, as sunset was 6:26 pm.
