I took this afocal photograph of the Lunar X (on the terminator below center) on the evening of September 22nd using a Canon PowerShoot SD980 IS digital camera, an 8-24mm Vixen zoom eyepiece, and a 6" f/8 Orion SkyQuest XT6 Dob.  The Lunar V is also visible in the image slightly above center.  Lunar north is at the top of the image.
