Lunar Observing Schedule for: Iceland - Reykjavik



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


2024-Dec-12 UT 19:55-21:14 Ill=91% Herodotus
2024-Dec-17 UT 07:14-07:49 Ill=95% Mons_Vinogradov

     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 


2024-Dec-18 UT 22:15-09:14 Ill=85% 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


2024-Dec-20 UT 09:12-10:11 Ill=74% Jansen

     BAA Request: On 2013 Aug 26 Peter Grego observed a dark patch 
     just east of Jansen D. He had not seen this before, therefore it 
     is important to repeat this observation under simuilar 
     illumination conditions. It maybe a buried crater? Ideally 
     suited to scopes of aperture 8" or larger. Please send 
     any high resolution images, detailed scetches, or 
     visual descriptions to: a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k .


2024-Dec-22 UT 09:50-09:59 Ill=55% Earthshine: Ursids: ZHR=10 (<50) vel=33km/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:

2024-Dec-23 UT 05:56-09:11 Ill=46% 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.
