Aristarchus 1963 Oct 30 UTC 22:00? Scarfe (Cambridge, UK)
observed a 30% enhancement at 540nm in the spectra of
Aristarchus. The Cameron 1978 catalog ID No. is 778 and weight
is 5. The ALPO/BAA weight=1 because Oct 30 is not mentioned in
Cameron's refernce.

30% enhancement at 540nm in the spectra of Copernicus. The
Cameron 1978 catalog ID No. is 778 and weight is 5. The

On 1981 Nov 10 at UT 07:54-08:22 D. Louderback (South Bend, WA, USA,
3" refractor and filters, seeing=2-3 and transparency=5) observed a
blue light at the Cobra's Head, near Aristarchus, that fell back down
to a normal brightness of 7. although the west wall (his point D) went
down to 6.5 (this was 8 back on Oct 5). The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=158

Midi, France, 24" reflector) observed in Kepler an
enhancement in red light at 672.5nm and 545.0nm. Luminescence
~86% +/-3% of background. According to the Cameron catalog,
Moore(12" reflector, UK) noted something unsual between 22:30
and 03:00 but this might apply to Kepler, Coperncius, and/or
Aristarchus and that was seen 23:30-03:00? - the catalog is not

On 1980 Sep 24 at UT 21:13-23:50 P.Moore (Selsey, UK) at 22:45 saw loss
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
back again at 21:35, and Moon blink colour filters still gave a
reaction at 21:50 - the TLP remained strong until 23:50UT. The Cameron
2006 catalog ID=110 and weight=5. The ALPO/BAA weight=4.

ALPO/BAA weight=1.
On 1980 Sep 25 at UT20:20-22:14 P. Moore (Selsey, UK) noticed that the
central craterlet was more visible in red than in blue. There was also
a streak on the floor that was "shifted to S & W." The floor was dark
and Mons Pico was bright. Peters found Plato's floor (and central
craterlet) to be dark, and darker in blue than in red, however he was
suffereing from spurious colour at his observing site. Cameron 2006

On 1980 Sep 25 at UT 20:20-22:14 Peters (Kent,UK, x240 and x120,

2004 Aug 31 UT 22:30-22:35 C. Brook (Plymouth, UK) looked at Gassendi
and noted a slight chestnut brown colouration in the dark area on the
crater floor to the north of the central mountain leading to Gassendi
A. It lasted for about two minutes during 22-30 hrs UT to about 22-35
hrs UT (observer unable be more precise). Used 60mm OG x120. Seeing
quite steady trans good. Checked Gassendi again at 23hrs UT to 23-05.
No sign of colour. Also area mentioned earlier seemed lighter now. No
colour on Aristarchus. Plato floor dark -no sign of craterlets. Seeing

ALPO/BAA weight=1.
On 1977 Oct 28 UT 19:25 V.M. Chernov (Soviet Union) observed that
Copernicus was brighter than normal i.e. brighter than Kepler but less
bright than Aristarchus. In January and February 1977 both Copernicus

Plato 1869 Aug 23/24? UTC 23:00-01:00? Observed by Gledhill? (Halifax,
England, 9" refractor) Group I of craterlets (as designated by several
famous obs. before) exhibited notable illumination, accompanied by a
single light on a distinct spot. (if obs. similar to Ap 1870 obs. then

On 1975 Dec ?? at 19:00UT P.W.Foley (Kent, UK), and possibly P. Moore?

Aristarchus 1978 Nov 16 UTC 19:40-19:45. Observer: Mark Kidger (UK, 6"
refractor x40, x133, x200, seeing poor-boiling) - saw the north wall of
Aristarchus to be an electric blue. No spurious colour was seen in
other craters (despite the conditions). No other observers were able to
confirm this due to the weather. ALPO/BAA weight=2.

On 2011 Jan 21 at 22:30UT N.Longshaw (UK, 4" Achromatic
refractor, x128 & x160, Seeing III, transparancy average)
suspected on the eastern edge of Geminus, on the border of the
crater filled shadow and the eastern illuminated rim, a
brownish, almost speia hue. This extended for a short distance
from the floor shadow into the illuminated rim width and spanned
from the north to the south of the crater. For a comparison,
Cleomedes was checked but nothing unusual was noticed in its
shadow. The observer notes that Elger also saw a warm brown or
sepia tone. ALPO/BAA weight=1.

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.
On 1992 Feb 21 at 03:00-03:55UT C. Brook (Plymouth, UK, 3" refractor

On 1992 May 20 at UT 11:15 D. Weier (Sun Prairie, WI, USA,
naked eye and 7x50 binouculars, sky conditions excellent)
noted that Aristarchus and, an area, were very bright to the
eye. In binoculars the feature was quite sharp and distinct,
"> anything else on the Moon". When observing please try using
your eyes alone and then a small aperture and low
magnification. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=447

Proclus 2001 Nov 04 UTC 07:00-07:43 "Robin Gray of Winneucca, Nevada,
U.S.A. reported a contrast effect and brightening in the crater
Proclus. Using a 15.2 cm refractor he conducted a Moon blink search
with Wratten 25a and 38a blue filters. His report goes as follows:
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
was very dim with this filter. With no filters the NE and SE wall were
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
9) thread of light that ran parallel to the illuminated east wall.
Whether this was an L.T.P. or an optical effect of atmospheric
turbulence is unknown, did not see anything similar elsewhere along the
terminator though" ALPO/BAA weight=3.
On 1980 Aug 29 at UT07:32 D. Loudernack (South Bend, WA, USA, 8"
reflector, x140) found the south wall to have a broad dark band (only

in red light (this is not normal as it is usually bright in

the west wall to near by the central craterlet - the latter was quite
clearly visible. What were not visible were the other four craterlets.

12.5" reflector, x342, seeing=excellent) detected the small crater on
its western rim But not on the eastern floor. This was odd because both
are equal in size, furthermore smaller craters could be seen and the
Moon was at a high altitude above the horizon, so seeing not a problem.
Cameron 2006 catalog ID=154 and weight=3. ALPO/BAA weight=1.
Aristarchus 1978 Oct 23 UT 06:30-06:34 V.A. Sage (Bristol, UK,
10.25" reflector, x250, Wratten 44a and 25, seeing II) noted
that Aristarchus was surrounded by a dark area in the blue
filter. They did not regard this as a TLP at the time. However
because Aristarchus is surrounded by blue material in real life,
this should have been brighter? For this reason, despite the
observer regarding this as a negative TLP, an ALPO/BAA weight=1
has been applied.
On 1981 Dec 19 at UT 01:00-05:00 E.V. Arsyukhin (Moscow, Russia, 3"

158mm reflector, x72 and x110, seeing II, transparency fair?)
saw a small circular area of grey or white in the dark south end
of Copernicus.The area showed up better through a Wratten 15
yellow filter, but was not seen at all through a purple Wratten

it is normal. Cameron 2006 catalog ID=68 and weight=1. ALPO/BAA

Copernicus 1979 Sep 15 UT04:40-05:25 J.Saxton (Leeds, UK,
8.5" reflector, x185, seeing I-IV, worsening towards local

shadow. ALPO/BAA weight=1.
On 1963 Nov 10/11 at UT 23:35-00:32 Kopal (Pic du Midi, France, 24"
