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
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

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:
a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k
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:
a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k
BAA Request: In 1991 Dec 23 Bob Mizon (BAA) sketched the
crater Cleomedes and Mare Cisrium. In the floor of the shadow
filled Cleomedes was an dusky oval area - presumably the last
rays of the Sun reaching the floor. We would like yuo to
either sketch, or image, over time, how the shape of this oval
area changes, and eventually vanishes. How late in terms of
colongitude can it still be seen? Is there any hint of colour
present? Telescopes of aperture 6 inche or larger should be
used. Please send any observation
you make to:
