The Eye Vs the Dtm

LPOD-Aug17-10.jpg

synthetic image from LRO DTM by Maurice Collins

Observing tonight for the first time in more than a year (because the cheap mount for my 6" Intes F/12 broke) I looked closely at the Hyginus Rille area. The most conspicuous feature was the odd, now dis-named Chuck Wood
PS- I just found Stefan Lemmel's image taken with very similar lighting to my observation but with much better resolution. The fact that the rille-cut dome is not visible on his image almost makes me question my interpretation; I hope some imager got a high resolution view tonight. And in a few months, significantly more LRO altimetry data will be released and Maurice can refine his synthetic image.

Technical Details
My observation was made with at 160X with an 8" f/10 TAL 200 K telescope graciously given to me by Tom Dobbins.
