BAA Request: In 1640 Nov 26 some germans in Worms reported
seeing a star-like point between the horns of the cresent Moon,
in Earthshine. This was depicted in a woodcut in Worms
Cathedral. If you observe at the suggested date and time you
will see the Moon at the same phase and libration thet the Worms
observers studied the Moon at. You obviously won't see what they
saw (whatever it was), but please send in any naked eye sketches
or digital camera telephoto shots of earthshine to:

"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: Sirsalis. We are trying to replicate, using
modern day images, a sketch in Plate II in BAA The Moon
from published: 1950 Jun Vol 1, No. 1. Its for a sketch by
D.W.G. Arthur from 1949 Jan 12. Please send any images to:
a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k .
BAA Request. Please observe visually or image this crater in
colour to see if you can detect any colour on part of the
floor. Please email any observations to:
a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k .
BAA Request: How bright is the crater? Compare to other ray
craters e.g. Proclus, Tycho, Kepler, Cenosrinus, Copernicus.
It is possible to do this study using small aperture
telescopes with diameters of 2" (or larger) and it would work
best at low magnifiactions e.g. 30x. If taking images, try to
use short exposures to avoid saturating images of bright ray
craters. All visual brightness descriptions or images should
be sent to: a t c @ a b e r . a c . u k
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.
Please email these to: a t c @ a b e r . a c . u k
