Brought my Celestron NexStar 6SE out on a camping trip last weekend and pointed it at the moon (lemmy.world)

Was out with a bunch of fellow geologists, who all got a kick out of looking at Saturn and the moon. Was only taking pictures with my phone, and so didn't get a good shot of Saturn, but thought this one of the moon was nice.

Ah, this is probably the right community to ask.

What are those stripes leading to the crater, here in the upper left?

I've noticed them before, but when I try looking it up, I usually only find results for Saturn's moon.

Beautiful picture, op!

Looking at the moon is always fun.
