BAA Request: Take high resolution images of the area north of Moltke to capture a view of what the lunar surface would have looked like from Earth at the moment Neil Armstrong made the first footprint on the lunar surface. Minimum diameter scope 20cm, larger apertures preferred: a t c @ a b e r . a c . u k
BAA Request: On 1972 May 18 M.Burton (UK) saw a E-W light streak across the floor of this crater and also that the east side of the crater was very billiant. This is probably a normal appearance for this stage in illumination, but we would like to check this out. Minimum sized telescope to use is a 5". Please send any high resolution images, detailed sketches, or visual descriptions to: a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k .
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: ALPO - email: c u d n i k @ s b c g l o b a l . n e t BAA - email: a t c @ a b e r . a c . u k UAI - email: a m . 5 4 8 5 2 @ g m a i l . c o m
