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