Lunar Observing Schedule for: Iceland - Reykjavik

     Apollo 11: This is what Mare Tranquillitatis would have looked 
     like on the night that Apollo 11 touched down on the Moon. Aim for 
     the area north of Moltke crater. 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: Lassell - we are trying to compare a sketch made 
     by T.G. Elger (1883 Jan 13 UT 19:40), that appeared on the 
     front cover of the BAA's The Moon publication from 1956 Vol 5 
     No. 2, to what can be captured with modern day imagery. This 
     is a good way to compare and contrast observations made by eye 
     with CCD imagery.Telescopes of aperture 8", or larger, should 
     be used. Please send any images to:
