Lunar Observing Schedule for: Greenland - Nuuk



Produced by the Department of Physics at Aberystwyth University, UK
Ill is percentage illumination of the Moon


2025-Aug-12 UT 02:37-04:35 Ill=91% Cyrillus

     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


2025-Aug-16 UT 03:07-06:19 Ill=50% Earthshine: Kappa Cygnids: ZHR=5 vel=21km/s

     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-Aug-17 UT 02:43-03:44 Ill=40% Plato

     BAA Request: Its around this Co-Longitude that some observers 
     have reported seeing an Ashen Light effect on the shadowed floor 
     of Plato, caused by scattered light off of an illuminated peak 
     on the rim. Please have a go either visually, or with long 
     exposure time lapse imagery to see if you can pick up the 
     development of this weak illumination effect on the floor. 
     Please send any sketches or images to: 
     a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k .


2025-Aug-17 UT 03:34-06:23 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.
