3" refractor, x36) discovered that at this time Mons La Hire was the
brightest feature on the Moon. LaPrice was also very bright. Cameron
quotes that Darling recorded that LaHire had a brightness of 7.0 and

spot in Earthsine, just north of Aristarchus (47W, 25N) at position
angle 30deg-40deg, only a little way in from the limb. It appeared like
a star through haze and a few seconds of arc in diameter. It was
Visible for more than 1 hour until 20:50UT although had faded somewhat

On 1969 Jul 20 at 22:50-23:15UT Jean Nicolini (Sao Paulo,
Brazil, 12" reflector x430, S=II.5-III.5) saw a weak reddish
area on the north west(east?) wall of Eudoxus crater. An
English Moon Blink device showed it dark in blue and opaque in
red. Reddening remained unchanged while comparing it to
adjacent region and Aristotles. Colour index was toward dirty
orange. Colour most apparent in the good moments of seeing and
disappeared in the poorer moments of seeing, Cameron says that
this is opposite to what was expected if the effect was
atmospheric in origin and no colour was seen in Aristotles.
