"Jewelled Handle": in Montes Jura - this is a Clair-Obscur effect. Its
an illuminated arc. Clair-Obscur have no scientific importance and are
just tricks of the light that make us think we see something like a
letter of the alphabet or a shape or face. Clair-Obscur effects are
scientifically pointless to observe. However, if you want to be
thrilled, or obtain an image to impress someone then give them a go.
If you do observe, or image this, by all means send your observation
into ALPO or the BAA, but we probably won't publish, but will
nevertheless retain in our archives, just in case features elsewhere
in the image are of interest to future researchers.

BAA Request: Cyrillus. There is a small white craterlet just
north of the three central peaks. We are interested to receive
high resolution images of this in order to find out at what
selenographic colongitude, in the lunar evening, that it loses
it's white spot appearence. Please use scopes largher than 6
inches in diameter.
