BAA Request: It has been noticed that a bright carterlet can
appear very suddenly on the floor of Plato in between needle
like shadows, during local lunar sunrise. This happens in the
space of just a minute or so, and can look really quite dramatic.
This effect was first spotted by Brian Halls on 2014 Oct 31
Please send any high resolution images, detailed scetches, or
visual descriptions to: a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k .
BAA Request: On 2012 Sep 24 E. Horner noticed a very strong red
colour around part of the sunlit inner rim of Copernicus,
sometimes a 1/4 and sometimes 1/2 around the interior. Quite
likely this was some form of atmospheric spectral dispersion -
though the observer checked for similar effects on other craters
but saw none. But to be sure we would like to obtain some colour
images or visual observations of this crater. The minimum sized
telescope to be used would ideally a 6" reflector. Low elevation
angles for the Moon are ideal as we want to try to replicate
this effect if it is indeed due to atmospheric spectral
dispersion. Please send any high resolution images, detailed
sketches, or visual descriptions
to: a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k .
ALPO Request: On 1989 Feb 17 David Darling made an observation
about the brightness of the east and west walls of Proclus. We
would like you to image, sketch, or just visually note which
is brighter, the east or the west rim of this crater?
Telescopes of aperture 6 inche or larger should be used.
Please send any observation you make to:
a t c @ a b e r . a c . u k
BAA Request: Take high resolution images of the area just
north of Fra Mauro to capture a view of what the lunar surface
would have looked like from Earth at the moment Apollo 14
lifted off of the Moon. Minimum diameter scope 20cm, larger
apertures preferred:

ALPO Request: On 2013 Apr 22 Paul Zellor noticed that the two
closely spaced NW dark bands in Aristarchus had some (non-blue)
color to them. Can we confirm his observation of natural colour
here? Ideally you should be using a telescope of 10" aperture, or
larger. Please send any high resolution color images, detailed
sketches, or visual descriptions to: a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k .
BAA Request: Look for colour along the edge od the SW ray
between Aristarchus and Herodotus. Mimimu sized telescope
diameter 8". Try to use a magnification of between 100 and 200x.
Use red, blue filters to verify colour e.g. Wratten 25 and
Wratten 44a. Otherwise use colour imaging - but keep the
exposure short enough to avoid saturating Aristarchus or the SW
ray. Any sketches or colour images should be emailed to:
a t c @ a b e r . a c . u k
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:
