Ill is percentage illumination of the Moon


2025-Jun-01 UT 20:59-22:13 Ill=38% Earthshine: sporadic meteors

     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:

2025-Jun-02 UT 20:44-21:40 Ill=47% Apollo_11

     BAA Request: Take high resolution images of the area north of 
     Moltke to capture a view of what the lunar surface would have 
     looked like from Earth at the moment Neil Armstrong made the 
     first footprint on the lunar surface. Minimum diameter scope 
     20cm, larger apertures preferred:

2025-Jun-02 UT 20:50-21:58 Ill=47% Barrow

     BAA Request: On 1972 May 18 M.Burton (UK) saw a E-W light 
     streak across the floor of this crater and also that the east 
     side of the crater was very billiant. This is probably a 
     normal appearance for this stage in illumination, but we would 
     like to check this out. Minimum sized telescope to use is a 
     5". Please send any high resolution images, detailed sketches, 
     or visual descriptions to: 
     a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k .


2025-Jun-02 UT 20:50-21:04 Ill=47% Torricelli

     ALPO Request: On 2011 Dec 31 Raffaello Braga found the north rim 
     or Torricelli to be very bright at the start of the observing 
     session but dimmed considerably later. He was not sure on the 
     normal appearance of this crater, hence why it is really 
     imortant to establish this by re-observing under similar 
     illumination. Minimum telescope aperture required: 3", and try 
     to use a refractor if possible. Please send any high resolution 
     images, detailed scetches, or  visual descriptions to: 
     a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k .

2025-Jun-28 UT 20:35-20:47 Ill=14% Picard

     BAA Request: On 2013 Feb 17 UAI observer: Giuseppe Macalli 
     observed visually an orange cloud form just to the west of 
     Picard crater, and then dissappear. The effect lasted about 1 
     minute. Obviously we are not likely to see whatever this was 
     (?) again under similar illumination, but just for the record 
     it would be useful to have a high resolution monochrome or 
     colour image of this area, at the requested observing 
     time.N.B. an image in the 2018 Jun LSC suggests that the date 
     given of 2013 Feb 17 may have been Feb 18? Please send any 
     high resolution images to: a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k .


2025-Jun-28 UT 21:13-21:48 Ill=14% Picard

     ALPO Request: Compare the crater in red and blue light - if 
     possible use Wratten 25 and Wratten 38A filters. Please 
     use a telescope of aperture 6 or larger (refractor if 
     possible) and at appromimately x250. Any visual descriptions, 
     sketches, or colour images should be emailed to:
