That is very odd Duncan, you should send it up somewhere for investigation/explanation.

I found the same object some-one else posted on another forum>

In your image it looks more convex, but in his image it looks more like a crater, but still has 2 square walls - and still odd.

Another case of I can see it but you can't. 

I don;t think it's posted up as a URL link - I don;t like to copy some-one else's image, so better leave it.

I cropped this form a single frame I took an hour or two later:

It should help to identify it.

It's because it's an image on a forum that you can only see by being a member and logging in.

Yes, I thought it was a URL link, but now realise it wasn't and I don't think I should copy and re-post some-one else's image.

If it's Walther it should look like my other post at the same magnification which is definitely Walther.
