2025-Apr-02 UT 12:44-14:48 Ill=22% Aristarchus observed by Fryback_D on 1988-4-21 *

     On 1988 Apr 21 at UT 01:28-04:00 D. Fryback (Madison, WI, USA) took a 
     series of photographs - Aristarchus was a luminous patch and in one 
     photograph a red spot (Cameron suspects marks on the film). is seen 
     near Aristarchus. Strangely though when looking through the telescope, 
     the crater was not excessively bright. D. Spain (Fairdale, KY, USA, 
     3.5" reflector?, x60) observed a narrow white streak of mag 5-6 of 
     duration 0.5 sec that covered 160-320km near the centre of the Moon at 
     01:53UT. A similar streak happened but the direction was different. 
     Next 2 small red flashes were seen at 02:00 and 02:01UT of magnitude 7 
     (<1sec) in the vicinity of Aristarchus. The cameron 2006 catalog ID=327 
     and the weight=1.

     reflector?, x60) observed a narrow white streak of mag 5-6 of duration 
     0.5 sec that covered 160-320km near the centre of the Moon at 01:53UT. 
     A similar streak happened again but the direction was different. Next 2 
     small red flashes were seen at 02:00 and 02:01UT of magnitude 7 (<1sec) 
     in the vicinity of Aristarchus. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=327 and the 
     weight=1.

     On 1968 May 02 at UT 01:20-02:14 Doughty (Red Bank, New Jersey, USA, 
     8" reflector, x120) observed a bright area in Aristarchus, surrounded 
     by a faint glow. May have been atmospheric dispersion. Glow fainter at 
     01:56UT and imperceptible at 02:14UT. Kelsey and Ricker consider the 
     observation abnormal. The Cameron 1978 catalog ID=1070 and weight=3.
     The ALPO/BAA weight=2.

     catalog ID=404 and the weight=2. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Apr-02 UT 15:03-16:10 Ill=23% Brenner_F observed by Collins_M on 2012-5-25

     On 2012 May 25 UT 05:35 Brenner F crater was recorded in a larger 
     area image by M. Collins (Palmerstone North, New Zealand, ETX-90 
     with LPI imager (monochrome mode) - seeing not good). He took a 
     sequence of 108 images from 05:35-05:40UT, and in the 65th frame, 
     a light spot, approximately 4 pixels wide can be seen just 
     outside the western illuminated rim of Brenner F. It is not 
     visible in any other frames. The exposure time was 0.125 Sec. 
     Because the western edge of the spot is very sharp, and the rest 
     of the Moon is slightly blurred due to seeing, it is thought that 
     this was most likely a cosmic ray event in the CCD camera - the 4 
     pixel width was perhaps contributed to by the image compression.
     It could also be some bright surface spot that was made invisible 
     most of the time by poor seeing, and then during a brief period
     the atmosphere is sharp enough at that locality to make it 
     visible. ALPO/BAA weight=1.

     On 1975 Apr 19 UT 21:09 P. Foley (Kent, UK), detected blue in 
     Plato on east. Fiton at UT20:45 found blue along the south wall 
     at the east (IAU?) end, which was very bright white. Blueness 
     extended towards the large landslip at the east of the formation. 
     Immediately north of the landslip, where the bright wall curves 
     first westwards, then again northwards, red could be faintly 
     detected, folloowed by a very faint blue. All other parts of the 
     formation were normal. Examination with a Moon blink device 
     revealed no colour blink. J-H Robinson also found blue, with red 
     on the west wall (exterior?). By 21:30UT Fitton found Plato to be 
     normal and so was Proclus, though he did find Epigenes (bright 
     cresecent of east wall only) slightly blue to the N.W and red 
     to the S.E. Mare Crisium was normal. Prominent spurious colour 
     seen on Venus, but it was low in the sky, with blue to the north 
     and red to the south. However J.H. Reading, managed to see the 
     north east floor blurred and slightly blue from 22:45-23:00UT.

2025-Apr-08 UT 17:34-19:12 Ill=84% Plato observed by Foley_PW on 1983-7-20

     On 1983 Jul 20 at UT 18:50-22:40 P.W. Foley (Kent, UK, 12"reflector, 
     seeing II-III) noted that the south wall of Plato at the 11 o'clock 
     position, at the location of a cleft, was fuzzy on either side of the 
     cleft. There was also a deep red colour along the cleft and the outside 
     wall. The colour had gone by 22:40 though. All other parts of the rim 
     of Plato were clear and distinct. M. Cook (Frimley, UK, seeing III) 
     sketched some obscurations at 22:03UT. At 22:08UT the red colour 
     reduced to a red line and vanished by 22:37. The south wall obscuration 
     varied in size and there was a possible obscuration at the 7 o'clock 
     position. J. Cook (Frimley, UK, seeing II-III) confirmed Foley's and 
     M.Cook's observations. Detail inside the crater was sharp, but colour 
     oppoiste to what is usual. Price (Camberley, UK, seeing IV-V) a few km 
     away had atmospheric ripples affecting his observations. At 21:36UT G. 
     North described the south wall as odd in appearance and the terrain 
     south of this was lacking in detail - this was odd because elsewhere 
     Plato was nice and sharp. At 21:45UT though the north section of the 
     crater was a hazy red. The cameron 206 catalog ID=224 and the weight=5.

     x300) using an English Moonblink device found colour on the south west 
     part of the floor. Note that for the times given by Cameron, the Moon 
     was below the horizon from California - so possibly these are local

     FL, USA - ALPO. 8” SCT via a 9mm ortho eyepiece. Transparency 
     magnitude 3 and seeing was 7/10) checked the crater without 
     filters as well as comparing with W25 red and W44A blue 
     filters using 226x. He saw no color on the SW part of the 
     crater floor or on the NW wall.  Using the filters, however, 
     he did note that the high peak on the S wall was brighter in 
     blue than red.  He tried this filter blink a number of times 
     because he had never seen this before in Gassendi, but the 
     result was the same each time. A colour image was taken

2025-Apr-09 UT 19:13-20:20 Ill=91% Plato observed by North_G on 1992-5-13

     On 1992 May 13 at UT 20:16-21:29 several observers reported a TLP in 
     Plato mostly concerning the visibility of floor craterlets, however 
     observer seeing varied from III-V. North (UK, 18.25" reflector) 
     reported "Colouration and floor craterlets very prominent. Seeing 
     Antoniadi V, Transparancy Poor.". Foley (Kent, UK, 12" reflector 
     seeing=III-IV) found the floor to be bright and in the better moment of 
     seeing detected floor craterlets. The WNW spot was misty some of the 
     time. Moore (Selsey, UK, 15" reflector, seeing V) had very poor seing 
     conditions. J.D. Cook and M.C. Cook (Frimley, UK, 3.6" reflector,

2025-Apr-09 UT 19:49-20:20 Ill=91% Plato observed by Foley_PW on 1983-7-21

     On 1983 Jul 21 at UT 21:02-23:18 P.W. Foley (Kent, UK, 12" reflector, 
     seeing=III) found the region around the cleft on the souther rim to be 
     out of focus - however atmospheric conditions were turbulent until 
     23:18UT. An unsual dark triangular region (long base against rim) was 
     seen to extend from the inner rim at 12 o'clock onto the floor for 13-
     16km. The crater had lots of detail elsewhere. M. Cook (Frimley, UK) 
     found the south east to soth west to be obscured again, but not as 
     badly as she had seen on the 20th July. J. Cook (Frimley, UK) found the 
     dark region had 2 white bands on the side and the south west wall was 
     blurred like it was on the 20th July - this time tough colour was not 
     present. There were also two light patches on the floor. Mosely 
     (Coventry, UK) observed the south wall at x120 and found the wall out 
     of focus at the 11 o'clock location. Through a yellow filter he saw a 
     "white mistiness: on the top of the southern rim and only the south 
     east cleft could be seen (no colour). By 22:40-23:00 the effect had 
     cleared up. No dark triangular patch was seen. When Marshall (Surrey, 
     UK) observed (22:30-03:00) nothing unsual was seen, though a sketch 
     provided shows a light patch on the floor located at 11 o'clock. All 
     observations, made by all observers had some atmospheric turbulence, 
     however trsnparency was good. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=225 and the

2025-Apr-10 UT 16:21-17:00 Ill=95% Torricelli_B observed by North_G on 2002-10-18

     Torricelli B 2002 Oct 18 UTC 20:56-21:59 Observer: G.North (UK, 8" 
     reflector, x134, Seeing Antoniadi IV, Transparency good) - thought that 
     Torricelli B was perhaps a little brighter than expected, especially 
     when compared to Moltke and Censorinus based upon past recollection of 
     relative brightnesses at this colongitude). Slight bluish tint seen as 
     well. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Apr-10 UT 17:10-17:59 Ill=95% Herodotus observed by Porta on 1965-6-12

     On 1965 Jun 12 at UT > 00:00 an unknown observer (Porta?) reported that 
     the area of Herodotus and the Cobra Head expanded and the colour went 
     to rose. The next night the floor was normal. In filters, phenomenon 
     accentuated in orange. The cameron 1978 catalog ID=880 and weight=3. 
     The ALPO/BAA weight=2.


2025-Apr-10 UT 17:55-19:48 Ill=95% Aristarchus observed by Robinson_JH on 1975-4-23

     On 1975 Apr 23 at UT 20:30 J-H Robinson (Teighmouth, Devon, UK, 260mm 
     reflector, x200). Observer was observing since 20:30UT, at 21:00UT 
     though they noticed red on the outside south wall of Aristarchus, a 
     hazy ill defined area that was larger in a red filter than in blue 
     filter, and outside east wall was bright in red. At 21:08UT the outside 
     west wall of Aristarchus no longer gave a colour blink reaction, and at 
     21:22UT the colour blink on the southern end of the crater ceased, but 
     the image blur remained (in both red and blue filters) despite the rest 
     of the crater being sharp in detail. Observations ceased at UT 21:35 
     because the blurring at the southern end seemed to be normal and this 
     was confirmed when checked with photographic atlases. Other craters 
     such as Proclus, Pickering, Tycho, Gassendi, Copernicus, Alphonsus, 
     Plato, Menelaus, Manilius, Linne and Theophilus, showed no colour blink 
     reactions. However Picard had a red bright blink from 20:30-20:40 and 
     the permanant blink on the N. Floor of Fracastorius was detectable. 
     Also Plato floor shadings were clearer in red than in blue - 
     intermittently. This is a BAA lunar section observation. No estimation 
     of transparency or seeing is given, nor any comment on whether spurious 
     colour was seen in any craters visually. ALPO/BAA weight=1. 


2025-Apr-10 UT 19:50-20:23 Ill=96% Gassendi observed by Moore_P on 1987-9-5

     Gassendi 1987 Sep 05 UT 20:25 Observed by Moore (Selsey, Sussex, UK, Antoniadi 
     III seeing, 12.5" reflector) "Intensely bright craterlet south of central 
     peak, surrounded by a luminous nimbus. Foley (Kent, UK, 12" reflector)onfirmed 
     the crater was highly luminous at 21:20, and surrounded by a blue halo that 
     had a darker blue band within it. This craterlet faded over time, and by 21:20 
     Moore considered that it was no longer prominent, by 21:22 Foley confirmed the 
     reduced brilliance, and by 21:30 Moore considered it to be perfectly normal. 
     Moore considers the nimbus effect to be normal. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=
     306 and weight=5. The ALPO/BAA catalog weight=3.


2025-Apr-10 UT 20:19-20:23 Ill=96% Promontorium_Agarum observed by Louderback_D on 1980-9-22

     On 1980 Sep 22 at UT05:00? D. Louderback (South Bend, WA, USA, 8" 
     reflector, x140 and 2.5" refractor) observed in Promitorium Agarum that 
     one of his pre-designated points, called "A", through to "C and "D" was 
     at least 5 brightness points brighter in red than in blue light. The 
     reverse was true on Sep 25th. Tonight the red seemed to be on a narrow 
     strip on the western edge. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=109 and the 
     weight=3. The ALPO/BAA weight=3.


2025-Apr-10 UT 20:20-20:23 Ill=96% Aristarchus observed by Cook_AC on 1987-9-5

     On 1987 Sep 05 at 20:55UT A.C. Cook (Frimley, UK, 90mm questar 
     telescope, x130, seeing III-IV, Moon 16 deg in altitude) observed a 
     dusky dark gray area just north of Herodotus and just south of the 
     Cobra Head. The interior shadow on the east of Herodotus by comparison 
     wad black and distinct. No change was seen when viewed through a 
     rotated polaroid filter. Apparently D. Darling (Sun Praire, WI, USA) 
     was observing at the same time but had better observing conditions and 
     could see detail in this region, suggesting that it was not a TLP. 
     There is no Cameron entry for this report. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.

2025-Apr-11 UT 19:46-20:19 Ill=99% Aristarchus observed by Livesey_R on 1996-10-25

     Aristarchus 1996 Oct 25 UTC 19:05-19:55 Observed by Livesey (Scotland, 
     65mm reflector x88) "red colour seen along E/SE rim and along S.edge of 
     SW ray - colouration not visible on other craters. Observations 
     terminated by hazy cloud drifting over Moon. Observer remarked that it 
     looked like chromatic aberation, but telescope was a reflector and no 
     colour was seen elswehere on the Moon. Cook (Frimley, Surrey, UK) 
     19:48-19:55 noted red on E. rim exterior and on SE part of central 
     peak, and blue on N. rim - strongly suspected spurious colour".

2025-Apr-11 UT 20:07-20:19 Ill=99% Bullialdus observed by Robinson_JH on 1979-10-4

     Bullialdus 1979 Oct 04 UT 20:24-21:25 JH-Robinson (Devon, UK, 
     260mm Newt. x200 Seeing Antoniadi IV-V, Transp.=haze) observed a two 
     bright points on the south west floor patch to be brighter in red than 
     in blue at 21:12. The effect was still present at 20:36 but back to 
     normal by 20:43-20:48. Amery (Reading, UK) found a possible brownish 
     tinge on the west wall, though spuroius colour was present elsewhere on 
     the Moon. Foley found the WSW corner darkened in blue light. Cook found 
     pink on south rim of Bullialdus and Pedler found Bullialdus to be a 
     confused mass with bright and dusky spots and patches - no colour seen.

2025-Apr-12 UT 15:40-16:13 Ill=100% Torricelli_B observed by Foley_PW on 1985-9-28

     On 1985 Sep 28 UTC 20:54-23:52 P.W. Foley (Suffolk, UK) found (actually 
     before 20:54 UT) brightness variance in Torricelli B. J.D. Cook 
     (Frimley, UK) observed a brief blue coloured patch somewhere in the 
     Torricelli B region, but could not pin it down precisely. At 22:50UT 
     M.C. Cook (Frimley, UK, 30cm reflector, seeing III - occasionally V, 
     transparency moderate to good) Found the crater to have an elongated 
     appearance (in SSW-NNE direction) in white light, similar to the 
     previous night. A bright elongated spot was seen on the NNE floor, 
     close to where the wall should be. Not able to define the rim. There 
     was a very dark surrounding area to the crater, similar to what it was 
     on the previous night (roughly 1/4 brightness of Censorinus). 23:04UT 
     brighter in yellow, then red, then blue. At 23:10 it was seen that blue 
     filter dulled the crater - this was odd because both Censorinus and 
     Proclus were brighter in blue, which is what he would normally expect. 
     At23:15 UT Censorinus was brighter in blue, then yellow then red 
     filters and some orange spurious colour seen to the south of 
     Censorinus. At 23:23UT no spurious colour seen on Proclus or 
     Censorinus. 23:46UT Torricelli B elongated as before, but a very faint 
     ray might have been seen to the south west of the rim. This report is 
     not in the 2006 Cameron catalog. The ALPO/BAA weight=3.

2025-Apr-30 UT 13:35-15:17 Ill=11% 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

     On 1989 Apr 09 at UT 00:00? R. Horton (N. ScN. Scituate, RI, USA, 6" 
     reflector) took an Earthshine photograph that revealed Copernicus to be 
     brighter than Aristarchus and Kepler. Cameron comments that usually 
     Aristarchus is the brighter and thought it a bit odd because Copernicus 
     should have been less visible, being nearer the terminator3 The Cameron 
     2006 catalog ID=359a and the weight=5. The ALPO/BAA weight=2.

2025-Apr-30 UT 13:35-14:14 Ill=11% 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

     On 1989 Apr 09 at 02:13 was seen to be not very bright in binoculars, 
     despite visibility of Earthshine in general as being exceptional. 
     Darling confirmed this at 02:31UT, though it was quite bright in a 
     17" reflector,but Herodotus could barely be seen. Weier claimed to be 
     able to see Aristarchus with the naked eye. At 02:08 the brightness was 
     found to be 5.0 for several measurments. The observing team ware from
