ALPO Request: On 2013 Sep 01 a lunar astrophotographer,
Maximilian Teodorescu, imaged a dark dusky cicular area to the
SE of Hermann D. The odd thing is that simulations show that
there should not be a circular low lying depression here. It
maybe a dust ring on his camera, but it did feature in the Lunar
Picture of the nDay (LPO) web site on 2013 Sep 13. Please send
any high resolution images, detailed scetches, or
visual descriptions to: a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k .

Monte Caucasus: "shadow face" silhouette Clair-Obscur effect.
Clair-Obscur effects have no scientific importance just tricks
of the light that make us think we see something like
a letter of the alphabet or a shape or face. Clair-Obscur
effects are scientifically useless to observe. However, if
you want to be thrilled, or obtain an image to impress someone
then give them a go. This effect on the southern end of Montes
Caucuses looks like the side silhouette of a cartoon human face.
We are still slightly undertain about the precise colongitude
range, so if you do not see the face, try again later. If you
do observe, or image this, by all means send your observation
into ALPO or the BAA, but we probably won't publish, but will
nevertheless retain in our archives, just in case features
elsewhere in the image are of interest to future researchers.
Note that we have some uncertainty in the colongitude range
- so if you don't see it, please tells us the date and UT so
we can make some improvements in the predictions.
