At a certain angle of the sun's illumination a number of fault lines or rilles are visible near the lunar craters of Hyginus & Triesnecker.
A two pane mosaic obtained with my Skywatcher 254mm Newtonian, Tal 2x Barlow and ZWO ASI385MC.
4000 frames captured on each pane using Firecapture. Then approx. 1600 to 1700 frames processed with Registax and images stitched with Image Composite Editor.
Final adjustments with Adobe Lightroom, collage and annotations using G.I.M.P.
Lunar south is uppermost. Best viewed iusing the expansion arrows.
For a reference to scale, the diameter of the crater Triesnecker is about 26Km (16 miles).
