2025-Apr-02 UT 14:53-15:13 Ill=23% 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

2025-Apr-02 UT 15:03-16:17 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.


2025-Apr-02 UT 16:51-18:00 Ill=24% S_Pole observed by Masini_R on 2009-1-30

     a bright clound just west the south pole and along of the southern 
     limb. The effect lasted a few seconds and faded. It was seen with the 
     naked eye. There was a grazing occultation of a 6th magnitude star from 
     this site, however the star would have been in the wrong place at the 
     time of the TLP. The ALPO/BAA weight=2. 


2025-Apr-02 UT 17:06-18:04 Ill=24% Mare_Crisium observed by Castro_T on 1991-6-16

     a comet-like tail extending eastwards (celestial) on of the 
     shore of Mare Crisium at 52.5E, 21.5N." This was confirmed by 
     several other observers and apparently video recorded. The 
     effect was seen on several nights but had faded completely by 
     20th June. J. Westfall (San Francisco, CA, USA) also videod 
     the spot but on Jun 21. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=429 and

     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

     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

2025-Apr-07 UT 19:44-20:22 Ill=77% Copernicus observed by Amdendsenvej_R on 1992-5-11

     On 1992 May 11 at UT 20:20-21:00 R. Amendsensvej (Esbjerj, Denmark, 
     10" reflector, x333) noted that Copernicus had "almost no disturbance. 
     Flash was seen between 2236:30 & 2236:40. Thus 10S". The Cameron 1978 
     catalog ID=444 and weight=1. The ALPO/BAA weight=2.


2025-Apr-07 UT 21:51-22:15 Ill=77% Plato observed by Barker_R on 1937-12-12

     Plato 1937 Dec 12 UT 16:45-21:00 Observed by Barker (Chestnut, 
     England, 12.5" reflector x420) and Fox (Newark, England, 6.5" 
     reflector, 24?x) "Strong streak of orange-brown on E.wall. Floor 
     nearly clear of shad. composed of many veins & thin streaks 
     interwoven. At 21h irreg. extension seen spreading eastward down 
     wall. Confirmed by Barker's younger son. NASA catalog weight=5 
     (very high). ALPO/BAA weight=4. NASA catalog ID #428.


2025-Apr-08 UT 15:10-16:30 Ill=84% Hevelius observed by Emmett on 1826-4-17

     Scarcely a trace of nebulae tonight. As long as to June 10 at
     2000UT? A little blackness remained. (P. Moore thinks it
     was a LTP, WSC it was a permanent feature?) Drawing. Seen
     by Nevelius Emmett, J. Boroughbridge, England. The 2006
     Extension catalog by Cameron assigns an ID No. of 4 and a
     weight of 1. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.


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. 
     The ALPO/BAA weight=3.


2025-Apr-08 UT 18:51-20:43 Ill=84% Sinus_Iridum observed by Clementelli on 2004-5-29

     Sinus Iridum 2004 May 29 UT 20:44 Observed by Clementelli (Rome, Italy, 
     102mm diameter Vixen refractor 80-160x, sky conditions: clear, no wind) 
     "A blue/violet streak, lasting ~10 minutes was seen on the floor of
     Sinus Iridum between crater Bianchini and Promontorium Heraclides. The 
     suspect TLP mybe an effect of instrumental achromatic aberration, but
     there is the small possibility that the effect was real." A UAI 
     observational report. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Apr-08 UT 19:34-21:02 Ill=85% Proclus observed by Darling_D on 1989-7-14

     On 1989 Jul 14 at UT 03:28 D. Darling (Sun Praire, WI, USA) found a 
     darkening in the crater Proclus, but the shadow seen by Cook and Moore, 
     from a few hours earlier was not seen. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=371 
     and the weight=2. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Apr-08 UT 20:55-22:42 Ill=85% Archimedes observed by Cook_AC on 1979-10-1

     Archimedes 1979 Oct 01 UT 20:57-21:00 Observed by Cook (Frimley, UK, 
     13mm Monocentric + Barlow eyepiece, Seeing IV, transparency: thin 
     cloud) "Red seen on east, blue seen on west - almost certainly spurious 
     colour".


2025-Apr-08 UT 21:02-22:43 Ill=85% Bullialdus observed by Cook_AC on 1979-10-1

     Bullialdus 1979 Oct 01 UT 21:04-21:07 Observed by Cook (Frimley, UK, 
     13mm Monocentric + Barlow eyepiece, Seeing IV, transparency: thin

     colour". ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Apr-09 UT 14:59-16:30 Ill=90% Plato observed by North_G on 1981-8-11

     On 1981 Aug 11 at UT21:05-21:36 G. North (England, seeing=poor) 
     detected, in green light, a darkening on the floor of Plato. This 
     effect was not seen elsewhere. J-H Robinson (Teighmouth, Devon, UK) 
     detected on the SSE rim (inner and beyond) a triangle that appeared 
     hazy in a wide range of filters at 21:05UT. However at 21:36UT it was 
     only hazy in green and blue light. No similar effect was seen 
     elsewhere. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=150 and weight=5. The ALPO/BAA 
     weight=3.


2025-Apr-09 UT 14:59-15:23 Ill=90% Aristarchus observed by Zeller_P on 2013-4-22

     On 2013 Apr 22 UT 01:39-02:37 P. Zeller (Indianapollis, USA, 
     10" f/4 reflector, x200, seeing 6, Transparency 3 - scattered 
     cirrus) observed visually (depicted in sketch) the two closely 
     spaced NW wall dark bands) to have a rusty-red hue. The colour 
     of these bands did not change over the period of the observing 
     session. Images were taken, but resolution and image S/N is 
     not sufficient to resolve separate bands here, or to detect 
     colour. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Apr-09 UT 16:32-18:18 Ill=91% Herodotus observed by Martini_A on 2017-2-8

     On 2017 Feb 08 UT 01:45 A.Martini Jr (10" Schmidt-Cassegrain 
     with ASI 120 MC camera +IR filter, Gain 40, Gamma 36, 
     exposure 0.003 sec) saw on a computer monitor screen a flash 
     to far to the west of Herodotus and Aristarchus at the 
     location 54.53W, 23.5N. It had a duration of 0.5 sec and on a 
     brightness scale of 0 = night side of the Moon to 10 = 
     Aristarchus, ranked 7. Unfortunately they were not recording 
     at the time. As there was no confirmation observation and it 
     could be a cosmic ray air shower detection, the ALPO/BAA 
     weight=1


2025-Apr-09 UT 17:39-19:31 Ill=91% Mons_Pico observed by Rawstron on 1934-2-25

     In 1934 Feb 25 at UT 18:30 Rawstron (USA?, 4" refractor, x250, S=6/12) 
     observed in Pico B: "A large patch of haze appeared & drifted off 
     across the mare in same direction as haze from Pico (white patch). It 
     was obs. on 20 other occasions. Drawing". The Cameron 1978 catalog ID=
     410 and weight=3. The ALPO/BAA weight=2.


2025-Apr-09 UT 18:04-20:01 Ill=91% Aristarchus observed by Darnella on 1967-5-20

     Aristarchus 1967 May 20 UTC 20:15 Observed by Darnella (Copenhagen, 
     Denmark, 3.5?" refractor) "Red spots on S.rim. Moon was low." NASA 
     catalog weight=1 (very low). NASA catalog ID #1036.


2025-Apr-09 UT 18:04-19:42 Ill=91% Aristarchus observed by Manske_R on 1989-7-15

     Aristarchus 1989 Jul 15 UT 02:00-04:20 Observed by Manske, Weier, 
     Curtis, Keyes, Yanna, Norman, Knutson, Sullivan, Eichman and Radi (Carl 
     Fosmark Jr. Memorial Observatory, Madison, WI, USA, SCT C11) "Manske 
     initially observed a reddish tinge on the SE rim of Aristarchus. The 
     colour was present in different eyepieces. Two other pinkish tinge 
     areas were seen on the SE and NE rims. 4 of the observers did not see 
     colour. Independent confirmation was made by Don Spain (KY) and Smith 
     in LA. Full details can be found on the following web site:

2025-Apr-09 UT 18:54-20:51 Ill=91% Gassendi observed by Kelsey on 1967-5-20

     On 1967 May 20 at UT 21:05-21:20 Kelsey (Riverside, CA, 8" reflector, 
     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 
     times and these times need to be correctly converted into UT? The 
     Cameron 1978 catalog ID=1037 and weight=3. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Apr-09 UT 19:07-20:08 Ill=91% Gassendi observed by Albert_J on 2023-5-2

     Gassendi. 2023 May 02 UT 01:35-02:23. J. Albert (Lake Worth, 
     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 
     earlier at 01:21UT but shows not colour on S wall as it was 
     saturated. ALPO/BAA weight=2.


2025-Apr-09 UT 19:14-20:32 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, 
     seeing II-III) used a CCD camera at 22:11 UT. The Cameron 2006 catalog 
     ID=445 and the weight=5. The ALPO/BAA weight=2.


2025-Apr-09 UT 19:40-21:26 Ill=91% Gassendi observed by Moore_P on 1966-10-25

     Gassindi 1966 Oct 25 UTC 22:30-23:10 Observed by Moore and 
     Moseley (Armagh, Northern Ireland, 10" refractor) and Sartory 
     (England, 8.5" ? reflector) "2 faint blinks (Eng.) on NW (IAU 
     ?) wall. (Indep. confirm.?). NASA catalog weight=5. NASA 
     catalog ID #987. ALPO/BAA weight=4.


2025-Apr-09 UT 19:49-21:28 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 
     weight=5. The ALPO/BAA weight=3.

2025-Apr-09 UT 21:27-22:46 Ill=91% Gassendi observed by Turner_R on 1992-5-13

     On 1992 May 13 at UT 22:30 R. Turner (Wolverhampton, UK, 3.6" 
     reftactor, x50) noticed that there was a white spot on the WSW rim that 
     he had not seen earlier. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=445 and weight=5.
     ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Apr-09 UT 21:40-22:26 Ill=91% Plato observed by Pratt_H on 1873-11-1

     ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Apr-09 UT 22:11-23:08 Ill=91% Gassendi observed by Foley_PW on 1976-11-3

     On 1976 Nov 03 at UT20:00-21:40 P.W. Foley (Kent, UK) reported a TLP in 
     Gassendi - some obsevers detected colour, others did not. P. Moore did 
     not notice anything unsual earlier at 18:50-19:00, though his seeing 
     was IV-V. Nor did he see anything unsual from 21:53-00:20, but seeing 
     was still IV-V. D. Jewitt, observing 20:34-21:25 and 22:55-23:20 also 
     reported nothing unusual. Amery (Reading, UK, 25cm reflector, x300) did 
     however notice a small reddish spot to west of central ridge, but by 
     20:30UT the colour was less obvious, but the spot was back again at 
     20:45, but not easily seen at 21:00 and gone completely by 21:45UT.  
     N.Bryant (Ilfracombe, UK, 25.4cm reflector, x260), observed 3 red 
     patches on the floor between 20:54 and 21:31UT. A BAA Lunar Section 
     report. ALPO/BAA weight=3.


2025-Apr-09 UT 22:59-23:08 Ill=92% Aristarchus observed by Barr on 1963-11-28

     On 1963 Nov 28 at UT 00:30-01:45 Barr, Greenacre, Hall and 
     Dungan (Flagstaff, AZ, USA, 24" refractor, and 69" reflector) 
     observed pink on the outer SW rim and a red spot towards the S of 
     this. A red spot was seen on the eastern side of Vallis Schroteri
     but only by Barr and Dungan. Other features checked for 
     atmospheric spectral dispersion and chromatic aberation - but the 
     colours in Aristarchus were not due to these. Smaller 12" scope 
     checked but no effects seen - presumably due to resolution and 
     image contrast issues? Pink on the SW rim may have been seen in a 
     69" scope by Boyce and Ford. ALPO/BAA weight=4.


2025-Apr-10 UT 15:00-15:15 Ill=95% Philolaus observed by Baum_R on 1948-5-20 *

     NE of Philolaus 1948 May 20 UT 22:00-22:15 Observed by Baum 
     (Chester, UK, 4.5" refractor) A distinct reddish tint suddenly 
     appeared to the NE of the crater, and persisted for 15 min, 
     before rapidly fading away. NASA catalog weight=3. NASA 
     catalog ID #505. ALPO/BAA weight=3.


2025-Apr-10 UT 15:00-15:24 Ill=95% Aristarchus observed by Wildey on 1962-12-9

     In 1962 Dec 09 at UT 07:42 Wildey and Pohn (Mt Wilson, CA, USA, 60" 
     reflector) observed that Aristarchus was 0.80 magnitudes (x2) fainter 
     than average for this age (photometric measurement) Vmag=3.80, average=
     3.0. The Cameron 1978 catalog weight=5. The ALPO/BAA weight=2.

     In 1962 Dec 09 at UT 07:36 Wildey and Pohn (Mt Wilson, CA, USA, 60" 
     reflector) observed that Oceanus Procellarum was 1.13 magnitudes 
     brighter than normal. Observation at sunrise and is abnormal if area 
     measured was mare. If it were an east facing wall it would be normal. 
     The Cameron 1978 catalog weight=5. The ALPO/BAA weight=2.

     On 1978 Mar 21 at UT 20:57 an Unknown observer observed a TLP in 
     Aristarchus crater. The details for this report are still being looked 
     up in the archives. In view of the uncertain details this TLP has been 
     given an ALPO/BAA weight of 1.


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=96% 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

     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.

2025-Apr-30 UT 15:16-15:17 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 
     atmospheric in origin and not a TLP. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=329 
     and weight=0. The ALPO/BAA weight=1. 


2025-Apr-30 UT 15:16-17:00 Ill=11% Aristarchus observed by Horton_R on 1989-4-9 *

     On 1989 Apr 09 at 00:00? R.Horton (N.Scituate, RI, USA, 6" reflector)
     found Aristarchus (and Kepler) to be much less bright than Copernicus. 
     Photographs show this. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=359a and the weight=
     3. The ALPO/BAA weight=2.


2025-Apr-30 UT 15:16-18:18 Ill=11% Aristarchus observed by Darling_D on 1989-4-9 *

     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 
     the Maddison Asgtronomical Society, WI, USA. The Cameron 2006 catalog 
     ID=359b and he weight=3. The ALPO/BAA weight=2.


2025-Apr-30 UT 15:16-17:00 Ill=11% Copernicus observed by Horton_R on 1989-4-9 *

     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 15:16-17:01 Ill=11% Tycho observed by Darling_D on 1989-4-9 *

     On 1989 Apr 09 at UT 00:00-04:45 D. Darling (Sun Praire, WI, USA, 11" 
     reflector, 3" refractor, S=9/10 and T=6) observed the central peak of 
     Tycho in Earthshine and that the crater "glowed". However Earthshine 
     was exceptionally bright tonight. The Cameron 1978 catalog ID=359b and 
     weight=3. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.
