When this camera star lunar image is blown up one particular crater stands out bright (Aristarchus at 9 o'clock). So bright that at first I thought that this reflection could be a passing plane or satellite. Wikipedea gives a summary of this unique crater.

The most interesting aspect is the emission of Radon 222 gas. This emission and or crater minerals may have affected the spectrum of reflected light that my digital camera sensors receive. The original image looks normal but the enhanced image with color shifting has the crater popping out way bright. Google images shows numerous pics of this crater looking very different than others.
