The Lunar X and V seen in the first quarter moon here in Singapore. I was really thrilled that I could see and capture them just from my Nikon Coolpix camera. It is simply amazing without the need of any telescope or other specialised equipment, the X and V are so clearly seen from the photo that I have taken. The X and V are optical effects which are known to be visible on the lunar surface for about 3 - 4 hours, once a month. They are caused by sunlight illuminating the The X is caused by light illuminating the rims of craters Blanchinus, La Caille and Purback. The V is caused by light illuminating crater Ukert along with several smaller craters.
