     Leibnitz Mountains 1955 May 24 UT 21:30-22:00 Observed by Firsoff 
     (Somerset, England 6.5" reflector, x240, seeing = very good). "Changing 
     lights over a period of time, lunar aurora? Beyond cusps were 2 bright 
     pts. 1 was sparkling and dancing and weaker intensity. Then a faint 
     beam detached itself & shot up vertically, becoming more intense but 
     faded at the base. Total length @ 160 km. Endured for > 2 s. Due to 
     telescope spider or lunar aurora?" NASA catalog weight=4 (good). NASA

2025-Apr-01 UT 09:39-12:40 Ill=12% Aristarchus observed by Albert on 1965-7-2 *

     In 1965 Jul 02 at UT 04:20-05:50 Albert and Welch (Azuss, CA, USA, 8" 
     reflector, x375) and Emanuel  (West Covina, CA, USA, 4.5" reflector) 
     observed 4th magnitude star-like flashes to blotches in Aristarchus, in 
     ashen light. Cameron says that this is independent confirmation and 
     also that the date in MBMW is 7/1/65 which is local time + 2nd UT. The 
     Cameron 1978 catalog ID=881 and weight=3. The ALPO/BAA weight=3.

     On 1981 Jan 09 at UT 00:30-00:45 D. Darling (Sun Praire, WI, USA, 
     12.5" reflector, seeing=8/10, transparency clear, but Moon low at 7 deg 
     above the horizon) found that despite Aristarchus being seen to be 
     bright in Earthshine, it was not as bright as Menelaus and Manilius.

     12.5" reflector, seeing=8/10 and the sky was clear - the Moon was at 
     7deg altitude though) saw that Manilius outshone Aristarchus - or was 
     it that Aristarchus was especially faint tonight? Manilius could be 
     seen even when the illuminated part of the Moon was in the eyepiece. 
     The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=121 and weight=1. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.

     In 1949 May 02 at UT 03:30-04:00 Barcroft (Madera, CA, USA, 10" 
     reflector, x96) observed in Aristarchus crater, in Earthshine, a 
     dull glow -- silvery phosphorescence.This was not visible for 30 
     min prior. Cameron comments that this is a confirmation of 
     Wilkins TLP from a few hours earlier? The Cameron 1978 catalog 
     ID=519 and weight=5. The ALPO/BAA weight=2.

     In 1965 Jul 03 at UT 04:25-05:34 Emanuel (West Covina, CA, USA, 4.5" 
     reflector) observed 4th magnitude star-like flashes and pulsations 
     coming from Aristarchus. Cameron says this confirmed and that the date 
     in MBMW is 7/2/65 which is local time = 3rd UT. The Cameron 1978 
     catalog ID=882 and weight=3. The ALPO/BAA weight=3.


2025-Apr-02 UT 09:40-11:12 Ill=21% Aristarchus observed by daSilva on 1971-7-26

     On 1971 Jul 26 at UT 21:40-22:05 daSilva (Paranaiba, Brazil, 13" 
     refractor, x224, seeing=good and transparency=fair) observed two 
     brilliant points in Aristarchus - the right one was the more 
     brilliant of the two. The observer says that this was not a TLP, 
     but is similar to other reports (Apollo 15 watch). The Cameron 
     1978 catalog ID=1300 and weight=1. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Apr-02 UT 09:40-09:53 Ill=21% Proclus_C observed by Kolovos_G on 1985-5-23

     Proclus C region 1985 May 23 UT 17:41 Photographed by Kolovos (observer 
     from Thessoloniki, Greece, observing site near Bafra Serrain, Greece, 
     4"refractor, seeing excellent) "Observer took a series of expousres on 
     a portable scope of the Moon. On one of them a very bright slightly 
     elliptical spot was seen. Spot was very close to the Proclus C crater. 
     Upon analysis it was claimed that the spot of light had rotated the 
     direction of illumination of shadows in adjacent craters - however 
     subsequent analysis casts doubt on this. Papers on this report
     were published in Icarus. Rast and Maley suggested that it was sun 
     glint off a spinning US ex-military weather satellite that just by 
     chance came across the field of view of the Moon a few tens of seconds 
     around the time of the photographed flash. Was this a coincidence or
     not? If it were a satellite sun-glint then the satellite would have to 
     be tumbling incredibly fast in order for the flash to be so sharp in 
     the photograph - so the satellite explanation is not completely 100% 
     confirmed." The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=273 and the weight=5. The 
     ALPO/BAA weight=2.


2025-Apr-02 UT 11:32-14:05 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.


2025-Apr-02 UT 11:57-12:38 Ill=22% N_Pole observed by Chernov_VM on 1978-3-13

     On 1978 Mar 13 at 17:25UT V.M. Chernov (Soviet Union) observed that the 
     northern cusp was elongated into Earthshine, 4.6 days after New Moon. 
     One day before this the cusps appeared nromal to him. The ALPO/BAA 
     weight=1.


2025-Apr-02 UT 11:58-14:05 Ill=22% Moon observed by Spain_D on 1988-4-21 *

     On 1988 Apr 21 at UT 01:53 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 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.


2025-Apr-02 UT 10:10-12:40 Ill=22% Earthshine: sporadic meteors

2025-Apr-03 UT 09:41-12:01 Ill=32% Aristarchus observed by Gridley on 1965-7-4 *

     In 1965 Jul 04 at UT 03:53-05:59 Gridley, Welch (West Covina, CA, USA, 
     4.5" and 8" reflector, seeing=excellent), Albert (CA, 8" reflector, 
     x375) and Emanuel (8" reflector) observed star-like flashes in 
     Aristarchus crater. Cameron says this confirmed and that the date 
     in MBMW is 7/3/65 which is local time = 4th UT also but is in error due 
     to misreading of handwriting. The Cameron 1978 catalog ID=883 and 
     weight=3. The ALPO/BAA weight=3.


2025-Apr-03 UT 09:41-10:06 Ill=32% Montes_Recti observed by Smith_G on 2009-3-1

     On 2009 Mar 01 at UT 18:50-21:00 G. Smith (East Yorkshire, UK, 127mm 
     Maksutov Cassegrain telescope with zoom eyepiece and later a Plossl 
     eyepiece) observed an area between Plato and Sinus Iridum to be glowing 
     as a bright nebulous patch. It was brighter than anything else in 
     Eartshine. A change in eyepiece did not affect the appearance of the 
     nebulous patch. The patch had faded somewhat by 21:00UT. The observers 
     brother attempted to observe the patch through a 114mm reflector at 
     20:30UT but the optics were of poor quality and the effect was not 
     seen. BAA observers were alerted, but only after the event had faded - 
     they made observations from 22:00-23:46 UT but failed to detect 
     anything unusual in the region concerned. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.
     This may have been a mis-identification with Aristarchus - however 
     we cannot be 100% sure.


2025-Apr-03 UT 09:48-10:43 Ill=32% Posidonius observed by Gruithuisen_F on 1821-4-7

     Posidonius 1821 Apr 07 UTC 18:00? Observed by Gruithuisen (Munich, 
     Germany) "Small bright crater in it was shadowless. Schroter also saw 
     it shadowless several X" NASA catalog weight=4 (good). NASA catalog ID 
     #87. ALPO/BAA weight=3.


2025-Apr-03 UT 11:19-13:16 Ill=32% Aristarchus observed by Foley_PW on 1985-5-24

     On 1985 May 24 at UT 21:01-22:40 P.W. Foley (Kent, UK, 12" reflector) 
     observed that Aristarchus was very bright (varied) and had a strong 
     (transient) red/rose colour and the crater floor was glowing. Detail 
     was visible. Mobberley (Suffolk, UK) also found the floor of the crater 
     to be "glowing". Photographs of Earthshine excellent. The Cameron 2006 
     catalog ID=274 and the weight=5. The ALPO/BAA weight=3.


2025-Apr-03 UT 13:43-13:45 Ill=33% Langrenus observed by Dollfus_A on 1992-12-29

     On 1992 Dec 29 at UT 17:42-17:54 A. Dollfus (Meudon, France, 1m 
     aperture telescope used) detected evidence for a dust cloud using CCD 
     polarimetry. The ALPO/BAA weight=5.

2025-Apr-04 UT 11:34-12:12 Ill=43% Censorinus observed by Foley_PW on 1984-7-4

     On 1984 Jul 04 UT 22:08-23:09 Foley (12" reflector, Kent, UK) found 
     that Censorinus gave a low brightness CED reading of 58%, despite all 
     other measured points on the Moon as being normal. M. Cook (Frimley, 
     UK) found Censorinus to be extremely dull compared to Proclus. J.D. 
     Cook (Frimley, UK) found Censorinus to be quite dull, barely above 
     background levels. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=246 and the weight=4. 
     The ALPO/BAA weight=3.


2025-Apr-04 UT 11:34-12:12 Ill=43% Theophilus observed by Richardson on 1984-7-4

     On 1984 Jul 04 at UT 22:05-23:09 Richardson (Swinton, Yorkshire, UK, 
     seeing=VE) found that a peak west of Theophilus crater had a deep blue 
     colour, and this was strange because no colour was seen elsewhere on 
     the Moon. Foley (Kent, UK, 12" reflector), once alerted, found a dome 
     east of Kant? to be blue, and likewise no colour was seen elsewhere on 
     the Moon. Cameron 2006 catalog ID=246 and the weight=4. The ALPO/BAA 
     weight=3.


2025-Apr-04 UT 11:34-12:12 Ill=43% Torricelli_B observed by Foley_PW on 1984-7-4

     On 1984 Jul 04 UT 22:08-23:09 Foley (12" reflector, Kent, UK) found 
     that Torricelli B was a much lower brightness than was expected and 
     this remained the case for the rest of the lunation. The Cameron 2006 
     catalog ID=246 and the weight=4. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Apr-04 UT 12:14-14:06 Ill=43% Aristarchus observed by d_Adhuda on 1891-11-7

     On 1891 Nov 07 at UT=19:00 d'Adjuda of Lisbon, Portugal (seeing fair) 
     whilst observing Aristarchus noticed that the crater appeared as  very 
     distinct luminous point in the dark. Cameron 1978 catalog ID=275 and 
     weight=3. ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Apr-04 UT 13:29-14:07 Ill=44% Censorinus observed by Marshall_KP on 1984-7-5

     On 1984 Jul 05 at UT 00:00-01:25 Marshall (Medelin, Columbia, 
     seeing=II) observed that Censorinus was much less bright than Proclus 
     (confirmed by CED readings). Cameron 2006 catalog ID=247 and weight=3. 
     ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Apr-04 UT 13:29-14:07 Ill=44% Proclus observed by Marshall on 1984-7-5

     On 1984 Jul 05 at UT 00:00-01:25 Marshall (Medelin, Columbia) found 
     Proclus to be much brighter than Censorinus (which of the two was 
     abnormal is a question) - though he thought that Censorinus looked 
     dull. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=247 and weight=3. The ALPO/BAA 
     weight=1.


2025-Apr-04 UT 13:34-14:46 Ill=44% Langrenus observed by Dollfus_A on 1992-12-30

     On 1992 Dec 30 at UT 17:36 A. Dollfus (Meudon, France, 1m aperture

     Censorinus 1984 Jul 05 UT 21:05-21:25 Observed by Cook (24" reflector 
     with line scan photodiode array at Mill Hill observatory, London) "Two 
     line scan photodiode array images were taken which used the motion of 
     the Moon to build up an image. The first image at 21:25UT did not 
     include all of Censorinus, but the part that it did include was not 
     very bright. The 21:25UT image did include all of Censorinus and the 
     crater was bright, including the part that was just visible in the 
     previous image. Possibly the seeing was worse at 21:05? and this could 
     explain the brightness descrepency, but it is worth checking again by 
     taking images at the same illumination conditions" BAA Lunar Section 
     report. At 21:17 M. Cook (Frimley, UK) found Proclus to be brighter 
     than Censorinus (more so than the previous night) and obtained variable 
     readings for Censorinus. Cameron 2006 catalog ID=247 and weight=3.

     10" reflector, x150, seeing=IV-V) could not distinguish between Messier 
     and Messier A. The tail of these features was very bright - two 
     telescopes were used. Moore (Selsey, UK, 12" reflector, seeing=III) 
     could see Messier A but found Messier itself obscured - just see the 
     west wall and thought that the comet like tail was unusual as it did 
     not appear divided. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=192 and weight=5. The 
     ALPO/BAA weight=3.

     Proclus 1984 Jul 06 UT 20:29-20:43 light green spot observed by Madej 
     (England) in the central region. No colour seen elsewhere. At 20:10 
     Foley (Kent, UK, 12" reflector) had seen a small extending of darkening 
     in the south east floor (not present 2 hours before) and a lot of fine 
     detail - though everything was normal again by 22:50UT. At 22:15 Amery 
     (Reading, UK) found a large dark spot on the south east floor. Other 
     observers: J and A.cook (Frimley, England) could not confirm but their 
     seeing was IV and tranparency was poor" Mobberley found no colour and

2025-Apr-06 UT 09:57-11:44 Ill=64% Mons_Pico observed by Turner_S on 1979-9-29

     On 1979 Sep 29 at UT10:00-12:00 S. Turner (Maryborough, Australia) 
     observed a strong beacon like flash in white light that moved back and 
     forth in the east wall of Plato (very bright) and Mons Pico. tried 
     changing eyepiece and the field of view, but this wasn't the cause of 
     the effect. A check at 11:07UT did not show the effect, but it was back 
     again by 11:18UT being more pronounced at Mons Pico than the east wall 
     of Plato. SSW of Mons Pico was also blinking slightly. At 11:32 the 
     blinking effect was irregular 5-10 sec and this continued until 
     12:00UT. Cameron 2006 catalog ID=71 and weight=0 but she suggests 
     atmospheric scintillation as a cause. ALPO/BAA weight=1.

     forth in the east wall of Plato (very bright) and Mons Pico. tried 
     changing eyepiece and the field of view, but this wasn't the cause of 
     the effect. A check at 11:07UT did not show the effect, but it was back 
     again by 11:18UT being more pronounced at Mons Pico than the east wall 
     of Plato. SSW of Mons Pico was also blinking slightly. At 11:32 the 
     blinking effect was irregular 5-10 sec and this continued until 
     12:00UT. Cameron 2006 catalog ID=71 and weight=0 but she suggests 
     atmospheric scintillation as a cause. ALPO/BAA weight=1.

2025-Apr-09 UT 09:46-09:56 Ill=89% Mare_Crisium observed by Williams_AS on 1881-5-9

     A.S.Williams of West Brighton, UK, using a 5.25" Calver, x150 and 
     definition fairly good. Observer noticed that the Mare seemed covered 
     with a close network of innumerable streaks, and spotted with countless 
     numbers of light specks, so that it would hardly be possible to 
     delineate them all in one night. The spots and streaks together must 
     have numbered ~1000. The observer had never seen anything like the 
     number of spots and streaks. Peirce A, was not at all easy to see and 
     neighboring spots almost as bright made it difficult to distinguish 
     which one was Peirce A. ALPO/BAA weight=3.

     On 1976 Apr 10 at 21:15-21:49UT S.Spencer (60mm refractor x60, seeing 
     quite good) noticed a faint red glow at the south west wall of Gassendi 
     covering a span of about 35 deg arc. The observer had some doubts about 
     this because they were using a small telescope, but thought that they 
     ought to report it, just in case. A BAA Lunar Section report. ALPO/BAA

2025-Apr-09 UT 09:46-10:01 Ill=89% Plato observed by Marshall_KP on 1982-8-1

     On 1982 Aug 01 at 00:00-01:00 K. Marshall (Medellin, Columbia, 12" 
     reflector, seeing I-II) noted shading on the east floor of Plato that 
     was apparently lighter than the rest of the floor and this was seen at 
     both low and high magnifications. Foley notes that this was unusual. 
     There were three craterlets visible on the floor - the central one was 
     the brightest. Cameron 1978 catalog ID=178 and weight=3. ALPO/BAA

2025-Apr-09 UT 10:47-12:44 Ill=89% Aristarchus observed by Moore_P on 1985-5-30

     On 1985 May 30 at UT 20:10-23:54 P.Moore (Selsey, UK, 15" reflector) 
     and at the same time Doherty (Sussex, UK, 15" reflector) observed a 
     strangely bright and pink/red north rim of Aristarchus crater during 
     UT20:20 and 20:36UT. The effect reduced between ~20:39 and 20:44UT. 
     M.C. Cook (Frimley, UK) found the northern wall to have a red/purple 
     colour but the effect vanished after 50 minutes. Cook also saw a "V"-
     like notch in the NW crater shadow and this appeared to be bigger than 
     normal. G. North (Sussex, UK) saw a tinge of pink colour on the 
     northern rim and a bit later a "ruby red" colour on the north-west wall 
     - again this effect lasted 50 minutes. Moseley verified the colour. 
     Finally M. Hather (Yorkshire, UK) suspected the north wall of 
     Aristarchus to be blue in colour. Cameron suspects that this TLP is not 
     spurious colour because it is in the wrong place. The Cameron 2006

2025-Apr-10 UT 09:47-09:49 Ill=94% Vallis_Schroteri observed by Clementine on 1994-4-23

     On 1994 Apr 23 at UT 03:30 the US Navy Clementine Spacecraft, in orbit 
     around the Moon, obtained images of the Cobra Head region of 
     Aristarchus crater that suggested a ~15x colour ratio increase (0.4 
     microns / 1.0 microns) in comparison with images obtained on 1994 Mar 
     03. This was presented as a poster paper 18.04 at AAS 31st DPS meeting. 
     However it was later suggested that this was due to incorrect 
     radimetric calibration procedures being followed. The ALPO/BAA 
     weight=1.

     very bright. However the colul had gone by 20:29UT. "Varied in albedo 
     2s then image blurred at 5-10s (atm) at 2034 became pink). At 21:35UT 
     M. Mobberley (Suffolk, UK) found a white patch in the crater centre and 
     a mag 8 flash was seen (confirmed independently by a 2nd observer ~
     113km away)- there was no shadow. At UT 20:30 P.W. Foley (Kent, UK, 
     12"reflector, seeing excellent) found no colour, but the brightness was 
     changiong and he confirmed the bright patch on the crater's floor,

     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

     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.

2025-Apr-10 UT 17:55-18:08 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-12 UT 14:25-16:13 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.

     of detail in the north west wall, especially in red light, but also 
     slightly in blue light too. By 22:48 there was activity on the crater 
     floor i.e. the four bright spots were visible in white light but not in 
     red. In blue the central spot was seen and there were dark radial 
     streaks to the south wall and south east. At 22:50 there was a loss of 
     detail. Other craters were normal. At 23:08 the floor was dark in red, 
     but some details were visible in blue. the effect had finished by 
     23:35. At21:34 J-H Robinson found Plato to be normal and no blinks, 
     though floor clearer in red than in blue, however the floor detail had 
     gone by 21:57. Blair suspected a dusty patch in north of Plato, 
     especially in red light. at 21:57 and it started spreading at 21:13, 
     then east at 21:15 and then north. Though it faded at 21:25 but was

2025-Apr-15 UT 16:07-17:56 Ill=93% Cleomedes observed by Beaumont_S on 1993-12-31

     On 1993 Dec 31 at UT 05:00-07:40 S. Beaumont (Cambridge, UK, 12" 
     reflector) "saw a patch of hazy light to NW (from c.p. alpha) at 0550 
     craters B & J shadow of alpha had not reached E wall yet, but at 0536 
     it did. Alpha > at 0550. Craters B & J to SE had faded, vanished at 
     0630. Hazy patch remained around peak, alpha low mainly to NE like a 
     comet's tail. Slightly reddish fringe to E wall. (shown in sketch)". 
     The above has been quoted in full from the Cmeron catalog because the 
     catalog desription is slightly ambiguous and any attempted summary 
     might make the description more unreliable. The cameron 2006 catalog 
     ID=470 and the weight=3. The ALPO/BAA weight=2.   


2025-Apr-15 UT 16:20-17:26 Ill=93% Messier_A observed by Moore_P on 1951-8-20

     Messier A 1951 Aug 20 UT 01:48-03:00 Observed by P.Moore 
     (England, 8.5" reflector, x350). Bright cloud like circular 
     patch seen on S wall of Messier A. It was the brightest object 
     in the vicinity. Observations ceased due to the Moon setting 
     behind a tree. W.Haas thinks that this effect is not unusual at 
     similar colongitudes. Moore checked again under similar 
     illumination and still considers the Aug 20 appearance abnormal.

     On 1995 Apr 03 at UT 03:30 Unknown Observer (Transparency good) saw a 
     darkening in the Cobra Head, Schroter's valley area of Aristarchus - 
     the best example that he had ever seen. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=474 
     and the weight=3. The ALPO/BAA weight=. Reference - BAA Lunar Section 
     circular 1995 Oct, p125 and personal communication from David Darling 
     to the BAA on 6/6/1995. Note it is uncertain whether this refers to the 
     Clementine mission or to somebody who observed during the Clementine 
     mission, or somebody with that surname. Anyway if it is the Clementine 
     mission then the date is wrong - possibly the year should have been 
     1994? The Cameron catalogue does actually mention a TIFF on Clementine 
     mission? The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=474 and the weight=3. I am 
     assuming that the year should be 1994 and not 1995? The ALPO/BAA 
     catalog weight=1 until we can find out what the correct date is?

2025-Apr-30 UT 10:05-10:31 Ill=10% Gassendi observed by Spain_D on 1991-4-17

     On 1991 Apr 17 at UT 01:22-02:37 D. Spain (Fairdale, KY, USA, 3.5" 
     refractor, x30-x111, S=5/10, T=5.5) observed (UT01:22-02:25) an orange 
     flare and some brighenings in the crater Gassendi. With the naked eye 
     he saw a glowing spot on the Earthshine side of the Moon. When he 
     turned his telescope onto this he found out that this was Gassendi 
     crater. By comparison, Aristarchus was just a small point. Herzog 
     (Racine, WI, USA, 2.5" refractor, x28, S=G and T=6-7) confirmed Spain's 
     observation UT 01:51-02:37?. Darling (Sun Praire, WI, USA, 3" 
     refractor, x56, S=7/10, T=5) did not see anything unusual UT 02:15-
     02:32?. Cameron speculates that the orange colour might be from the 
     Moon's low altitude. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=421 and the weight=1. 
     The ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Apr-30 UT 10:26-11:16 Ill=10% Mare_Crisium observed by Laszlo_M on 1973-4-5

2025-Apr-30 UT 11:37-12:54 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.
