Guys, You did a fantastic job!!! I am so jealous (and Happy).... lol
There was nothing but clouds here since thursday night; it is monday evening here now, and still clouds!!!! Haven't seen the sun or the moon in days!
Gary, I first saw this and tried to take a picture of it when I was a kid in 1978...I got out of astronomy for years and grew up (so to speak, my wife says I act like I'm nine) and got into drag racing as a hobby. In March of this year I finally got back into astronomy, and went looking for my mysterious "x". All these years have went by and I never saw it again...!
Well, as we now know, it's just a reflection that can be predicted fairly easily with all the co-longitude software out there now. Of course the weather has to be kind to us also.., and whether the moon is visable in at the time of the occurance.
If you want, I can give you info on the "Curtiss Cross" near last quarter moons..It is similar to this ...... I think I posted something on here a month or two ago..
