Closeup of lunar edge in partial solar eclipse

About this image

I have cropped the image that I took at 11:11 UT and highlighted what I think are features at the edge of the moon. I looked very closely at the image projected onto paper and the crinkled edge is not due to atmospheric disturbance or imperfections in the surface of the paper. I genuinely think that these are real lunar features. The big sunspot AR4046 is shown in focus at the edge of the sun.
