The Lunar X, also known as the Purbach or Werner Cross, an X-shaped illumination effect involving various rims and ridges between the craters La Caille, Blanchinus, and Purbach, was predicted to occur today at 19:00 UT.  I've been observing it with a 6" f/8 Orion XT6 Dob. The terminator is well past the X at this time.

HI Dave,

I admire your observational prowess, I usually do not take much of an interest in the Moon, I don't know why, but the study of the Moon and it's display at the terminator  just does not do anything for me. I'm more of a deep sky fanatic, so the Moon is my observational enemy.

I have heard reports of some folks seeing flashes on the Moon possibly from minor impact events, I did want to witness the crashing of the two part space vehicle that NASA was doing looking for water,  but I was told it was not so great, did you get a chance to observe it from your location?
