BAA Request: On 2012 Sep 24 E. Horner noticed a very strong red
colour around part of the sunlit inner rim of Copernicus,
sometimes a 1/4 and sometimes 1/2 around the interior. Quite
likely this was some form of atmospheric spectral dispersion -
though the observer checked for similar effects on other craters
but saw none. But to be sure we would like to obtain some colour
images or visual observations of this crater. The minimum sized
telescope to be used would ideally a 6" reflector. Low elevation
angles for the Moon are ideal as we want to try to replicate
this effect if it is indeed due to atmospheric spectral
dispersion. Please send any high resolution images, detailed
sketches, or visual descriptions
to: a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k .
BAA Request: Look for colour along the edge od the SW ray
between Aristarchus and Herodotus. Mimimu sized telescope
diameter 8". Try to use a magnification of between 100 and 200x.
Use red, blue filters to verify colour e.g. Wratten 25 and
Wratten 44a. Otherwise use colour imaging - but keep the
exposure short enough to avoid saturating Aristarchus or the SW
ray. Any sketches or colour images should be emailed to:
