Lunar X -Thursday 22nd February was created by flt158
Good evening, everyone.
I just thought I would announce that the Lunar X will be right on the terminator of our Moon on Thursday evening 22nd February from 6 pm for about 1 hour.
Only 20X is required to see it.
But a much more satisfying result can be had at 100X to 150X.
For those who may not know -the Lunar X is caused by the 5 craters La Caille, Purbach, Blanchinus, Werner and Regiomontus.
Now all we need is a reasonably clear sky.

Clear skies from Aubrey.

Lovely at 40X and 112X.

Don't give up hope, Finbarr.
I am still observing the X at 19.15 UT.
