2024-Jul-01 UT 10:21-10:24 Ill=22% Wargentin observed by Cave on 1966-9-9

     On 1966 Sep 09 at UT 21:00-21:30 Cave (England, UK, 6" reflector, x364, 
     S=F) observed that the flor of Wargentin was a very dark gray, two 
     shades darker (on scale of 1-10) than the floor of Nasmyth and nothing 
     to be seen on it even along the ridge. A drawing was made. The Cameron 
     1978 catalog ID=976 and weight=3. The ALPO/BAA weight=2.

2024-Jul-03 UT 11:52-12:29 Ill=7% E_Limb observed by Unknown_Observer on 1883-3-6

     During an occultation of lambda Geminorum on the eastern limb
     the light from the star took 3 seconds to fade. Cameron 2006 catalog
     extension ID=8 and weight=2. ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2024-Jul-03 UT 11:52-11:59 Ill=7% Earthshine: sporadic meteors

2024-Jul-03 UT 12:05-12:16 Ill=7% Plato observed by Short_J on 1751-4-22

     James Short, Dr Harris and Mr Stephens saw initially a streak of 
     light on the shadowed floor of Plato. They were not expecting to see
     any light to reach the floor. Shortly afterwards they saw a second
     streak of light parallel to the first and this shortly divided
     into two. Gaps in the mountains were found for both streaks,
     but they were unable to understand why one of the streaks divided
     into two. Cameron's 1978 assigns this TLP an ID of 20 and a weight
     of 5. The ALPO/BAA catalog assigns a weight of 1.


2024-Jul-08 UT 02:32-02:35 Ill=5% Aristarchus observed by Lubke on 1988-5-18

     On 1988 May 18 at UT01:00-02:35 Lubke (Middleton, WI, USA, 8" 
     reflector, x130) reported that Aristarchus glowed "like an out of focus 
     star varying with the atmosphere". Darling (Sun Praire, WI, USA, 20x60 
     binoucular) and Spain (Fairdale, KY, USA, 7x35 and 20x60 binoculars, S=
     6/10) found that both Copernicus and kepler were brighter than 
     Aristarchus in Earthshine. Aristarchus itself looked unusual, though 
     Spain did not see Aristarchus at all. Darling and Wieir (20x60 
     binouculars) agreed that it appeared as a star-like point in 
     binoculars. Cameron 2006 catalog ID=326 and weight=0. ALPO/BAA

2024-Jul-08 UT 02:32-02:35 Ill=5% Aristarchus observed by Beaumont_S on 1990-4-26

     On 1990 Apr 26 at UT 19:30-20:30 S. Beaumont (Cambridge, UK, seeing=II, 
     very good) observed Aristarchus to be "very bright" in Earthshine - it 
     varied in brightness. However she could also see the edges of the mare 
     and the west limb clearly. Grimaldi was slso seen. Cameron suspects 
     that these are atmospheric effects. The cameron 2006 catalog ID=400 and 
     the weight=0. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2024-Jul-08 UT 02:32-02:35 Ill=5% Grimaldi observed by Beaumont_S on 1990-4-26

     On 1990 Apr 26 at UT 19:30-20:30 S. Beaumont (Cambridge, UK, seeing=II, 
     very good) noted that Grimaldi was seen well however she could also see 
     the edges of the mare and the west limb clearly. Cameron suspects 
     that these are atmospheric effects. The cameron 2006 catalog ID=400 and 
     the weight=0. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2024-Jul-09 UT 02:31-03:10 Ill=10% Aristarchus observed by Ward on 1821-5-4

     In 1821 May 04 at UT 21:30-22:00 Ward (England? Large aperture 
     telescope, x80), Bailey (England?) and Olbers (Bremen, Germany, 
     refractor) observed in the Earthlit part of the Moon an apperent small 
     comet like feature extended from Aristarchus towards Grimaldi. The 
     light was similar to a glow worm. The observer had never seen anything 
     like it. The cameron 1978 catalog ID=89 and weight=3. The ALPO/BAA 
     weight=4.


2024-Jul-09 UT 02:31-03:10 Ill=10% Aristarchus observed by Darling_D on 1988-5-19

     On 1988 May 19 at UT01:14-02:30 D. Darling (Sun Praire, WI, USA, 7x35 
     binoculars) was able to see Copernicus OK, Kepler (only just) and 
     Aristarchus was invisible in Earthshine. He could not see the usual 
     bright areas in Earthshine either. D. Spain (Fairdale, KY, USA, 
     3.5"reflector, x30-277) could not see anything in Earthshine. Lubke 
     (Middleton, WI, USA, 8" reflector, x75 and x130) though was able to see 
     Aristarchus and it was brighter than its surroundings, however it was a 
     lot fainter than on the 18th May. Cameron suspects that this was 
     atmospheric in origin and not a TLP. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=329 
     and weight=0. The ALPO/BAA weight=1. 


2024-Jul-09 UT 02:31-03:26 Ill=10% Oceanus_Procellarum observed by Mugridge_P on 1990-4-27 *

     On 1990 Apr 27 at UT20:00-20:30 P. Mugridge (Surrey, UK) observed a 
     bright light "sometimes 3 lights in form of triangle" in Oceasnus 
     Procellarum (56W, ~25N), roughly mid way between Schroter's Valley and 
     Briggs. "Haze surrounds as a mist or fog. poss. < at end of obs." 
     Cameron comments that this may have been as a result of contrast in the 
     strong Earthshine. Foley even contemplates if it was a 
     misidentification of Aristarchus. Cameron comments that it is probably 
     not due to terrestrial atmosphere. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=401 and 
     the weight=1. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.

     On 1969 Jul 19 at UT 06:30 Whelan (Wellington, New Zealand) observed a 
     pulsating glow in Aristarchus crater, extending towards the north. The 
     Cameron 1978 catalog ID=1162 and weight=2. The ALPO/BAA weight=2.


2024-Jul-11 UT 02:31-02:39 Ill=24% Janssen observed by Marshall_KP on 1983-9-11

     On 1983 Sep 11 at UT 23:52 K.P. Marshall (Columbia, 12" 
     reflector, x268, seeing II), whilst sketching the crater 
     Janssen noticed a tenuous red patch on the southern junction 
     of the valley which joins Fabricius to A. Nothing resembling 
     this found on nearby areas. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2024-Jul-11 UT 02:31-02:52 Ill=24% Aristarchus observed by Grego_P on 2010-4-18

     On 2010Apr18 at UT 20:45-21:00 P. Grego (St Dennis, UK, 17" 
     reflector - first practice run) observed that Aristarchus in 
     Earthishine was the brightest that he had seen it before. The 
     effect had faded to normal in the next 15 minutes though. "The 
     bright spot was initially thought to be part of the wall of 
     Aristarchus, but on closer examination the spot was probably the
     crater’s central peak. At around this time I estimated the 
     brightness of the peak to be around magnitude 8, but this is a 
     poor estimate as no suitable comparison stars in the immediate 
     vicinity of the field of view were to be seen. Aristarchus’ 
     outline was visible, as was a clearly defined sweep of 
     brightness to its west (presumably the high albedo markings 
     southeast of Herodotus) and another illuminated area to the 
     north of Aristarchus (presumably the Vaisala area), and a small 
     illuminated patch on the eastern flanks of Aristarchus. No other 
     areas of the Moon in earthshine appeared to be as bright as 
     these markings, and there were certainly no other clearly-
     defined spots as brilliant as the one that lay in Aristarchus. A 
     watch was kept until 22:00 UT, when the Moon went out of view 
     behind a tree. During this period it appeared that the spot was 
     becoming less bright and less clearly-defined, although the 
     other albedo markings in its vicinity remained visible; this may 
     have been a consequence of the Moon’s diminishing altitude. 
     ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2024-Jul-11 UT 02:47-04:07 Ill=24% N_Pole observed by Wilkins_HP on 1953-4-18

     Cusps 1953 Apr 18 UT 21:00? Observed by Wilkins (Kent, England, 15"?

2024-Jul-11 UT 03:03-04:09 Ill=25% Earthshine: sporadic meteors

2024-Jul-12 UT 02:31-03:34 Ill=33% Aristarchus observed by Whelan on 1969-7-20

     On 1967 Jul 20 at UT 07:00 Whelan, (Wellington, New Zealnd) saw a 
     pulsating glow from Aristarchus crater, and this continued, although 
     less pronounced. This was during the apolo 11 watch. The Cameron 1978 
     catalog ID=1172 and the weight=2. The ALPO/BAA weight=2.


2024-Jul-12 UT 02:31-04:09 Ill=33% Earthshine observed by Weith_Knudson on 1974-2-27

     On 1974 Feb Weith-Knudson (Copenhagen, Denmark, 12" refrlector, x72)
     observed a magnitude 7.7 flash (comparison between SAO093043=mag 7,8 
     and SAO093052 mag=7.5 that happened to lie in the field of view at the 
     time) in Earthshine. The observer speculates whether this was a lunar 
     meteorite impact or a reflection from an artificial satellite (or 
     indeed as Cameron suggests from an Earth meteor?). The cameron 1978 
     catalog ID=1388 and weight=0. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2024-Jul-12 UT 02:31-03:23 Ill=33% Proclus observed by Haas_W on 2003-9-2

     Proclus NW ray 2003 Sep 02 UTC 02:20-03:35 Observed by Haas (Las 
     Cruces, NM, USA) "Everyone knows the bright ray running northwest from 
     Proclus. In this view from 2:20 to 2:36, UT on September 2 I remarked a 
     thin, pink southwest border to the ray. One thinks of chromatic 
     aberration, and the position supports this interpretation; but other 
     bright lunar features showed no such effect. The pink border lay 1 to 
     2.5 diameters away from Proclus (S=2, T=3.5). At 2:55, UT (S=1-2, S=
     3.5) the border was gone; neither its appearance nor disappearance was 
     observed. At 03:25 UT there is no sign of the pink border (S=2, T=3), 
     moreover the Moon was lower, so atmospheric dispersion must be greater 
     by now? 12.5" Newtonian x321 at 02:20-02:36, x202 at other times.?" 
     Note that experiments to simulate spurious colour using Adobe Photoshop 
     were able to recreate colour in the correct place on the NW ray - 
     however there should have been colour reported on the SW ray too and 
     there was no mention of this, therefore the observational report is 
     intriguing. The ALPO/BAA weight=2.


2024-Jul-12 UT 02:47-04:31 Ill=33% Daniell observed by Price_M on 1979-12-24

     M. Price of Camberley, UK noticed that an area in relation
     to the central area of the floor could not be resolved. Averted
     vision was used, but this did not help to resolve detail. The crater
     was close to the terminator and was in general sharply in focus
     apart from the suspect area. No spurious colour seen. Sketch
     supplied.P. Foley wonders if the effect was due to the resolution
     limit of Price's scope? Cameron 2006 extension catalog ID=78
     and weight=2. ALPO/BAA weight=2. 6" reflector x64 and x120.
     Seeing=III-IV and Transparency=good.


2024-Jul-12 UT 03:35-04:31 Ill=33% Aristarchus observed by McIntosh on 1969-7-20

     On 1969 Jul 20 at UT 0845 McIntosh (Auckland, New Zealand, 14" 
     reflector) saw Aristarchus crater to be brighter in red light. This was 
     during the Apollo 11 watch. The Cameron 1978 catalog ID=1173 and 
     weight=3. The ALPO/BAA weight=3.


2024-Jul-12 UT 04:15-04:31 Ill=33% Mare_Crisium observed by Kidger_M on 1975-3-18

     On 1975 Mar 18 at UT17:30 M.Kidger (Winterbourne Down, Bristol, UK, 
     60mm refractor, x36, very good conditions with a very sharp image and 
     the sky was almost perfectly clear apart from a very few small clouds). 
     In Mare Crisium it was observed that only a ray of Proclus could be 
     seen to cross the floor - normally there are at least four craters 
     visible inside mare Crisium on good nights and at least one being 
     visible under bad conditions. So despite it being very clear and the 
     image quality being good, the observer found it odd that no craters 
     were visible on the floor of mare Crisium. This is a BAA Lunar Section 
     report. The ALPO/BAA weight=2.

     30cm reflector, seeing IV, transparency moderate, very litle 
     spectral dispersion noticed - Wratter 25 and 44a filters used) 
     UT 21:16-21:19 Censorinus slightly brighter in red and more 
     detail seen. Observed other features before and after this. 
     Checked again UT21:31-21:40 - same appearance. Torricelli and 
     Torricelli B in comparison looked normal with other craters of 
     similar size. ALPO/BAA weight=1.

     Proclus NW ray 2003 Sep 03 UTC 02:46-03:07 Observed by Haas (Las 
     Cruces, NM, USA) "The curious reddish edge to the conspicuous bright 
     ray running N2 from Proclus is seen again (x321, x366 (S=1-3, T=3.5-
     2.5). It lies on the SW side of the ray, with no corresponding blue 
     border on its NE edge. The effect persists as the Moon drifts across 
     the whole eyepiece field. However at 03:46 (x202) the coloured edge is 
     not recognized now, but perhaps only because of worse conditions (S=3, 
     T=2) 12.5" Newtonian reflector used." The ALPO/BAA weight=3.

     On 1988 Jul 22 at UT 02:15-04:00 P.W. Foley (Kent, UK, 11" 
     reflector) made a sketch of a dark area of the (East) floor of 
     Proclus that revealed a large anomalous dark region - there 
     should be no shade here when the sun is at an altitude of above 
     50 deg!. BAA lunar section archives reveal similar dark shadings 
     - however on this night it was a different shaped dark area. The 
     appearance was confirmed by several observers. Foley reported 
     that the region affected stretched from Proclus to Theophilus. 
     The TLP was seen in the USA too by D, Darling as early as 
     01:31UT and by others on his TLP network - brightness 
     measurements of the "c.p." were 3.5 and the remainder of the 
     floor was 5.5. However the observers did not all agree on the 
     same position for this dark area. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=

     On 1989 Jun 12 at UT 21:18-22:25 G. North (Herstmonceaux, UK, 
     Coude, seeing=V) noted at 21:18UT that Torricelli B was 
     "barely visible"- possibly this was seeing related. M. Cook 
     (Frimley, UK, 8" reflector, seeing=IV) found Toricelli B to be 
     ëxtremely dull - impossible to judge shadows on floor in 
     contrast to Cens." Holmes (Rockdale, England, UK, 8" 
     reflector, seeing=II-III) at UT21:30 also found Toricelli B 
     difficult to find at magnifications less than 200x. Cameron

     On 1974 Mar 3 at UT 19:06-20:20 J-H Robinson (Teighmouth, Devon, 
     UK, 10" refractor, x200, seeing=poor) got a Moon Blink reaction 
     on the South east wall of Plato, adjacent to the rim shadow and 
     alerted the BAA TLP network. Ford reported a negtive result at 
     19:35UT, although Robinson was still getting a blink reaction at 
     19:40UT, albeit fainter, red at times. Findlay at 19:43-19:52 
     and 20:00-20:05 saw nothing unusual. Robinson at 19:56UT no 
     longer saw a blink, but it returned at 20:05UT. Light in bothred 
     and blue filters. Not steady, but coming and going and gone at

     shaped and fanned out across the floor. Could see hint of knot 
     seen before. Craters named in 7/23/88 (#319) were all normal 
     this time too". Is it possible that this report refers to the 
     crater "Gray" rather than "Proclus" as the column field suggests 
     in the Cameron catalog? The Cameron 1978 catalog ID=333 and 
     weight=5. The ALPO/BAA catalog weight=2.

2024-Jul-18 UT 05:59-07:06 Ill=88% Herodotus observed by Lena_R on 2002-9-18

     Herodotus 2002 Sep 18 UT 22:00 Observed by Raffaello Lena (GLR, 
     Italy). Event described was of two pseudo-peak/hill-like 
     features, one on the southern floor of the crater, and another 
     just slightly to the NW of the centre. on the southern 
     floor of the crater. Lena suspects a combination of seeing 
     effects and albedo markings on the floor. However this effect of 
     two spots on the floor has not been repeated again.For further 
     information, theory,  and a sketch please see Fig

2024-Jul-19 UT 03:59-05:56 Ill=94% Briggs observed by Grego_P on 2010-4-27

     On 2010 Apr 27 at UT 00:10-00:30 and 01:45-02:00 P. Grego (St 
     Dennis, UK, 20 and 30cm reflectors) noticed a craterlet just 
     to the east of Briggs and an E-W trending lineament or wrinkle 
     ridge that did not show on NASA LAC charts. Further checks did 
     not reveal it on Lunar Orbiter mosaics, but the craterlets 
     (and not the E-W trending ridge) were visible in LROC 
     topography data. The ridge is possibly a very low relief 
     feature that shows only under very shallow illumination 
     conditions. The ALPO/BAA weight=1 until we get confirmation at

     no "violet glare"from inside the crater. However the region of the 
     central peak was very bright - though he could not detect the central 
     peak. The brightness of the TLP was 4.5 and it should normally be 3 
     (nimbus area). Near the "big plain"it was 7. The chromatic aberation 
     seen on the crater. There was also violet on the northen wall of 
     Herodotus crater and the Cobra Head. Ït appeared dark blue in the blue

     On 2002 Sep 23 at UT22:45-23:56 C. Brook (Plymouth, UK) noticed that 
     the bands inside Aristarchus varied (UT22:45-22:56) in definition 
     whilst the rim of Herodotus and the rays of Kepler and Copernicus 
     remained sharp. These bouts of variation were 1-2min in duration. At 
     23:56UT when he checked again the periodic blurrings of the bands were 
     still present. The observer suspected atmospheric effects. M.Cook 
     (Frimley, UK) observed 22:00-22:30 and could see only 2 bands on the 
     west wall - but this may have been because of poor transparancy. The 
     ALPO/BAA weight=1.

2024-Jul-23 UT 06:39-08:14 Ill=95% Aristarchus observed by Foley_PW on 1983-10-23

     Aristarchus 1983 Oct 23 UT 19:00-01:30 Observer: Foley (Kent, UK, 
     12" reflector, seeing=II) noiced at 19:00UT an extended bright 
     spot on E wall and extending beyond. This was brighter than other 
     areas of the crater. There was also occasional star-like 
     glistening. Foley comments that the inside of Aristarchus was 
     slightly obscured. The TLP started fading from UT20:30 and 
     finished by 01:30UT. six out of nine independent observers 
     confirmed the effects seen. In total 14 observers observed, 9 
     reported back and 6 found abnormalities in Aristarcus though all 
     encountered variable seeing conditions - some had spurious 
     colour. Cameron comments that this was one of the best 
     recorded/confirmed TLP events. All CED brightness measurements 
     obtained were very high. Moore, Nicolson and Clarke (5" refractor 
     and 15" reflector, 230-350xseeing III) found the crater to be 
     very bright at 19:11UT through a 5" refractor and there was a 
     blob on the east rim (Bartlet's EWBS?) at 19:14UT. Nicolson also 
     saw a very bright star-like area on the eastern wall but this was 
     not defined as it usually is. The crater was also very bright at 
     22:43UT using the 15" reflector available to these observers. At 
     01:07UT they used a Moon blink and discovered that the bright 
     region was bright in blue light and less bright in red - although 
     this was not a detactable blink when switching rapidly between 
     filters. They found that the crater had returned to normal by 
     01:15UT. M.C. Cook (Frimley, UK, seeing III-IV) observed a large 
     diffuse spot on the east of the crater that was brighter in blue 
     than in red light and the CED device gave a high reading. J.D. 
     Cook (Frimley, UK, seeing III-IV) made a skecth that showed the 
     bright spot extended on the east wall - again the CED reading was 
     high and a lot of detail was visible on the floor. A.C. Cook 
     (Frimley, UK, seeing III-IV) also noted remarkable detail and the 
     bright (as confirmed by CED) blob on the eastern rim. G. North 
     (Sussex, UK, seeing III-II) also confirmed the bright blob on the 
     eastern wall. Wooller found the north west wall was a dirty 
     yellow colour - though no colour was seen elsewhere in or outside 
     the crater. Mosely found the crater to be bright and his sketch 
     revealed the extension of the bright blob on the eastern rim and 
     again a great deal of interior detail. Amery (Reading, UK, seeing 
     III) found Aristarchus to be "a brilliant splash against dulled 
     background in violet filter, especially polarizing filter. CED + 
     polarizer readings high, but not as high as previous night". 
     Mobberley (Suffolk, UK, seeing III-IV) remarked that "spurious 
     colour a total mess around Aristarchus & nothing abnormal seen". 
     A photograph was taken at 20:50UT reveals the  bright blob and 
     entire detail. Peters (Kent, UK, seeingIII-II) observed  
     Aristarchus with a UV screen from 20:15-21:23UT and comented that 
     althogh being very bright, there was no variation between white 
     and UV. It was checked with a Moon Blink device and the radial 
     bands were  clearly seen in white light, < in blue. The Cameron 
     2008 catalog ID=233 and the weight=5. The ALPO/BAA weight=4.

     Moon Blink carried out. In Red 25 Proclus looked nearly the 
     same as in white light. Through the Blue 38a filter, however, only the 
     brilliant lit south east wall was clearly visible. The northeast wall

     brilliantly lit, the SE wall was almost as bright as Aristarchus. A 
     thread like strip along the NW wall, possibly the rim of the crater, 
     was also brilliantly illuminated. The interior of the crater was a 
     featureless stygian black with the exception of a brilliant (intensity

     impression of a rosy colouration along the NW crest and outer 
     wall. For perhaps 2-3 min this persisted - before fading 
     entirely. The observer felt that the cause may have been 
     psysiological - or short-lived spurious colour. However
