Details:
On January 16, 2016 (UT 03:00 roughly) fairly intense couple of gleaming spots were observed on crater Maurolycus. All bright spots were seen on same border’s side. There is a chance that crater Barocius CC be related (not possible to visually resolve it, however). The glowing intensity look constant during whole observation time. This steady light probably point out a reflection origin instead of gas ionization spurting from beneath surface. At the end of observation time luminous phenomena were evident as earlier.
Old and vintage LX3. (Secondary manually re-silvered few months ago). No filters. Wheather conditions fair. My second attempt with new 5 MP camera (working on it!).
