Ill is percentage illumination of the Moon


2025-Aug-01 UT 11:07-11:12 Ill=49% 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.
     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

2025-Aug-02 UT 11:40-12:06 Ill=59% Lassell

     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: 
     a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k .


2025-Aug-08 UT 12:46-14:43 Ill=99% Copernicus

     ALPO Request: Can you see a darkening on the northen floor of 
     this crater? All visual reports, sketches or color images should 
     be emailed to: 
     t o n y . c o o k @ a l p o - a s t r o n o m y . o r g


2025-Aug-11 UT 15:36-16:58 Ill=93% Torricelli_B

     BAA Request: Sketches or images needed of Toricelli B - of 
     sufficient resolution to reveal shadow. All observations, 
     including sketches or images shouild be emailed to: 
     a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k .


2025-Aug-12 UT 13:13-19:08 Ill=87% 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


2025-Aug-13 UT 13:39-14:38 Ill=79% 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 .
