Although this image suffers from processing artifacts it is still an interesting picture. On Saturday evening, volunteers and public at the CU observed a bright moon with fascinating features on its terminator. One of those was the crater Gassendi seen in the photograph. Half of Gassendi crater was in shadow with its central peak illuminated by sunlight. Bellow the crater is Mare Humorum.
