Found the Curtiss Cross on the Moon

Hello everyone, while looking through many digital pics on the computer that I've taken this year, I found something that I didn't realize I had captured. It's similar to the "X" that I first saw in 1978, but this one is at a different location and appears at a different moon phase. First filmed in November 1956 by Robert E. Curtiss of Alamogordo, New Mexico, this pic displays most of the "cross" or "X" shaped reflection Northeast of crater Parry. I'm one "happy camper" today...!!!! Hope the attachment looks ok....
