The Nature and Observations of Rayed Craters on Mercury

I described many observations showing bright spots on Mercury and now we know as crater ejecta ray system. My goal is to determine how well they can be seen and imaged from earth and how to compare them with the craters on the moon. Further observations are needed, for confirmation or refutation. This study is meant to be an example that other observers can follow and to study the true nature of these features as rayed craters on Mercury
