A few Lunar Rilles (a rille is a cleft, fissure or channel) were close to the terminator last night. Captured with a 10" LX200 GPS and LPI. Seeing was poor.

The rille in the middle of the frame (with the crater in the middle) is Hyginus Rille - no. 24 on the Lunar 100.

The rille at the left side of the frame is the Aridaeus Rille - no. 29 on the Lunar 100.

The system of rilles around the dark crater at the top of the frame are the Triesnecker rilles - no.35 on the Lunar 100.
