BAA Request: Please try to image the Moon as a very thin crescent, tryimg to detect Earthshine. A good telephoto lens will do on a DSLR, or a camera on a small scope. We are attempting to monitor the brightness of the edge of the earthshine limb in order to follow up a project suggested by Dr Martin Hoffmann at the 2017 EPSC Conference in Riga, Latvia. This is quite a challenging project due to the sky brightness and the low altitude of the Moon. Please be very careful around sunrise so as not to be observing once the Sun has risen. Do not bother observing if the sky conditions are hazy. Any images should be emailed to: a t c @ a b e r . a c . u k

BAA Request: Eudoxus - please try to image the shadow filled interior of this crater. We are trying to explain an observation from Meudon Observatory in France made in 1881 for which we don't have the precise UT for. You may or may not need to over-expose the image - it is not clear from the original report whether it was faint light inside the shadow filled interior, or sunlit highland emerging from the shadow?. Please send any images to: a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k .
