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: Images needed of the area west of Cassini,
covering the crater Cassini E. Especially interested if you
can detect a bright point on the NW rim of Cassini E. Does
this cause flashes in poor seeing conditions? Minimum sized
telescope aperture would be 8". All images or shetches should
be emailed to:
a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k

SLA Request: Deluc H. On 2019 Oct 06 Alberto Anunziato
observed an rapid change in appearance (few tens of minutes)
in relation to west rim - presumably an illumination effect.
Please submit any sketches or images of this crater to me and
it will be passed onto the SLA. Please email these to:

BAA Request: On 2012 Sep 24 E. Horner noticed a very strong red
colour around part of the sunlit inner rim of Copernicus,
sometimes a 1/4 and sometimes 1/2 around the interior. Quite
likely this was some form of atmospheric spectral dispersion -
though the observer checked for similar effects on other craters
but saw none. But to be sure we would like to obtain some colour
images or visual observations of this crater. The minimum sized
telescope to be used would ideally a 6" reflector. Low elevation
angles for the Moon are ideal as we want to try to replicate
this effect if it is indeed due to atmospheric spectral
dispersion. Please send any high resolution images, detailed
sketches, or visual descriptions
to: a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k .
ALPO Request: Any colour visible on the northern edge? Check
with filters if you are observing visually. Otherwise use
colour imaging.Please use a telescope of aperture 20cm or
larger. Any visual descriptions, sketches, or images should
be emailed to:

Cassini's Moon Maiden at Promontorium Heraclides - this is a Clair-Obscur effect.
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.
Apollo 14: This is what the lunar surface would have looked like
when Apollo 14 blasted off from the Moon. Aim for the area
north of Fra Mauro. The illumination and the shadows are
exactly the same. There is no scientific value in imaging
this, but from the nostalgic point of view it might be interesting
to observe. Feel free to send your observation in to the BAA or
ALPO and we will put it in our archives, but as we have
a lot of these images already, we may not publish it, unless it is
exceptionally high in resolution. Minimum diameter scope to use
would be 20cm, but larger apertures are preferred:
BAA Request: Cavendish E - we are attempting to check out two
reports made on 2021 Jun 22 UT 20:44 and 2025 Sep 04 UT 20:04
which both said that part of the northern rim of this crater
was as bright as Aristarchus. Visual observation or images
- high resolution and/or wide angle (to compare with other
bright features) would be welcome. Telescopes of aperture 5",
or larger, should be used. Please send any images to:
a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k .
ALPO Request: Please supply images, or sketches, of this area,
especially covering the area to the east. Any size scope can be
used for this study. All observations should be emailed to:
