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 morning, that it
starts to show it's white spot appearence. Please use scopes
largher than 6 inches in diameter.

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.

BAA Request: How dark is the floor of Plato compared to other
dark areas on the Moon e.g. nearby Mare. Can you see central
craterlet on the floor? Is the floor of Plato brighter or
darker through a green filter than in other colours?
Alternatvely just take a colour image. Mimimum sized
telescope aperture: 6 inches.Please send any sketches,
monochrome images, or visual reports to:
a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k .
ALPO Request: The area to look at here is to the west of
Herodotus, near the terminus of Valles Schroteri, where you
should be able to see four spots of light (just east of the
terminator). Are these better visible in red or blue light? The
original observation was made using Wratten 38A and Wratten 25
filters, but any blue and red filters will do, or indeed a
colour camera. Do these spots fade over time? If so, in what
order? If imaging, then time lapse imaging would be useful here.
Minimum aperture telescope to use should be a 6", and if
possible a refractor - aim to use magnifications of around 114x
to 228x. Any visual descriptions, sketches of images 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.

BAA Request: On 2011 Jan 21 Nigel Longshaw suspected the
eastern side of Geminus (on the border of the crater filled
shadow and the eastern illuminated rim) had a colouration to
it. This extended for a short distance from the floor shadow
into the illuminated rim width and spanned from the north to
the south of the crater. For a comparison, Cleomedes was
checked but nothing unusual was noticed in its shadow. The
observer notes that Elger also saw colour here too. Its
probable that some natural surface colouration was observed,
but this needs to be checked out? Telescopes of aperture 4"
or larger are needed to observe this effect. If you have a
refractor, then try using this, otherwise a reflector will do
just as well. Please send any sketches, images, or visual
descriptions to: a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k .
