ALPO Request: On 2010 Apr 20 Ivan Bryukhanov observed an
orange-brown tint a little to the west of Zollner and Kant
craters. A refractor would be suitable for this, although any
sized scope larger than 4.5" aperture would suffice. Its
possible that this might have been related to the low
altitude of the Moon, therefore observing with the Moon down to
about 15-5deg above the horizon is acceptable for this to see if
we can replicate colour here. Please send any images, detailed
sketches, or visual descriptions to: a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k
These can only be observed using low-light level cameras running at 25 frames per sec,
or faster, and capable of recording 9th or 10th magnitude stars in real time.
Dates/UTs of observing runs, or detections of impacts, should be emailed to:
ALPO - email: c u d n i k @ s b c g l o b a l . n e t

UAI - email: a m . 5 4 8 5 2 @ g m a i l . c o m
BAA Request: Please image or sketch this area, looking
especially for two bright points of light on the edge of the
termiator. A scope of at least 4" aperture is needed for this
observation. All images or sketches should be emailed to:

BAA Request: Can you see any sign of "greyness" inside the
shadow on the floor of Tycho? This is possibly due to
scattered light off of the illuminated walls of Tycho. Mimimum
sized aperture telescope to use should be an 8" reflector. Any
visual descriptions, sketches or slightly over exposed images
should be emailed to:
a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k
BAA Request: Two observers have reported colour on the rim
around this colongitude, once in 1938, and again in 2013. Please
take a look and report what you see, and where on the rim.
Please send any high resolution images, detailed sketches, or
visual descriptions to: a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k .
BAA Request: Tycho. We are trying to replicate, using
modern day images, a sketch in Plate X in BAA The Moon
from published: 1950 Jun Vol 1, No. 1. It is for a sketch made
by H.P. Wilkins from 1949 Jun 05. The original sketch was
made with an 12" telescope. Please send any images to:
a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k .
BAA Request: Do the appearance of the bands on the crater rim
vary (blur) in appearance over time? Compare them to bands in
other craters e.g. Herodotus, Kepler, Copernicus. If you do
see any variations in sharpness, see how it relates to
atmospheric seeing condtions. All images or sketches should
be emailed 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

BAA Request: It has been noticed that a bright carterlet can
appear very suddenly on the floor of Plato in between needle
like shadows, during local lunar sunrise. This happens in the
space of just a minute or so, and can look really quite dramatic.
This effect was first spotted by Brian Halls on 2014 Oct 31
