2025-May-01 UT 14:24-16:09 Ill=20% 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.

2025-May-06 UT 17:25-19:04 Ill=71% Tycho

     BAA Request: Can you see any sign of "greyness" inside the 
     shadow on the floor of Tycho? This is possibly due to 
     scattered light off of the illuminated walls of Tycho. Mimimum 
     sized aperture telescope to use should be an 8" reflector. Any 
     visual descriptions, sketches or slightly over exposed images 
     should be emailed to:
     a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k 


2025-May-10 UT 16:24-17:51 Ill=96% Briggs

     BAA Request: On 2010 Apr 27 Peter Grego noticed a craterlet 
     just to the east of Briggs (this is normal), but also an E-W 
     trending lineament or wrinkle ridge that does not show up on 
     NASA LAC charts - it is this we wish to confirm by re-
     observing under similar seleonographic colongitudes. An 8" or 
     larger telecope is required, Please send any high resolution 
     images, detailed sketches, or visual descriptions to: 
     a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k .
