Well done !!
In regard to flashes , some of the Apollo astronauts noticed flashes on the lunar surface from orbit. The media back then would have had a field day reporting Aliens on the moon.
Probably just reflections from their high gain antenna on the CSM ??

Thanks Martin - nah I was just poking fun at the folk who get all wound up over differential illumination in this crater. Aristarchus does indeed seem to change its illumination but this is certainly due to the angle of the sun on it's terraced walls. A challenging target but rewarding when the lighting is juuust right!
