This is the best terrestrial view I've seen of one of the most unusual craters on the Moon. No one seemed to notice the dark rays of Dionysius until 1965 when an Air Force officer studying the Moon published an article in the journal Chuck Wood
Technical Details
Dionysius' dark rays are longer and its inner bright deposit is bigger to the west than on the east - do you think Dionysius was an oblique impact?
(and if you want the telescope and camera stuff see the image margin).
