I observed this ray as a narrow shaft of light ~55Km. long. The ray had a dark shadow completely cutting across it, making two segments approximately the same length. I believe this was caused by a craterlet inside Goldschmidt near the northern rim.

Conditions were cloudy during the whole night. However, I observed it periodically over the next 1 1/2 hours. It remained the same over this period. It became too overcast and I called it a night. It may be possible to observe this ray at an earlier time, and it probably could've been seen, after I made my last observation.
