"Man on the moon"--Crater Birt

Hi, all
An interesting observation tonight, June 7th around 10 PM ET: Craters Birt and Birt A were right on the terminator, and looked exactly like the upper torso of a man in silhouette, as if a bright light were shining behind them. (Crater Birt A being the "head.") Observed with a C102F and 7mm ortho (129x) and Televue 2x barlow (258). Quite striking!
