Apollo 17: This is what the lunar surface would have looked like
when Apollo 17 touched down on the Moon. Aim for the area
south of Littrow. The illumination and the shadows are
exactly the same. There is no scientific value in imaging
this, but from the nostalgic point of view it might be interesting
to observe. Feel free to send your observation in to the BAA or
ALPO and we will put it in our archives, but as we have
a lot of these images already, we may not publish it, unless it is
exceptionally high in resolution. Minimum diameter scope to use
would be 20cm, but larger apertures are preferred:

BAA Request: Images needed of the area west of Cassini,
covering the crater Cassini E. Especially interested if you
can detect a bright point on the NW rim of Cassini E. Does
this cause flashes in poor seeing conditions? Minimum sized
telescope aperture would be 8". All images or shetches should
be emailed to:

ALPO Request: What can you see in the way of a light patch
inside the crater (of a diameter of approximately 10km). If
visible, how long does it last for? If imaging, make sure you
allow a suitable exposure. If visual observing, sometimes a
lower magnification can help to improve image contrast. Please
use a telescope of aperture 20cm or larger. Any visual
descriptions, sketches, or images should be emailed to:

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 .

colour to see if you can detect any colour on part of the
floor. Please email any observations to:

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:

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 .
