2025-Aug-01 UT 04:21-04:36 Ill=47% Pitiscus observed by Slayton_G on 1981-9-6

     Pitiscus 1981 Sep 05 UT ??:?? but assumed to be AM? which would make 
     it 00:00-03:00UTC. Observed by Slayton (Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA, 
     8" reflector, ASA 64EK7 f/170, Kodak Kodachrome) photographed a bright 
     glow in the crater that appeared to move. Observer also reported seeing 
     it visually noting that it looked gray with a tinge of red. For further 
     information see p266 of Sky & Telescope (1991, March). Note that 
     Cameron gives the date and UT at 1981 Sep 06 UT 01:00-01:30, or one day 
     later. I will use this date and time from now on. The Cameron 2006 
     catalog ID=152 and weight=5. The ALPO/BAA weight=3.

     Proclus 1970 Jul 11 UT 20:35-20:45 Observed by Dean, Jamieson, 
     Sparks (Ruislip, ------, England, 6" relector x156) "Dean saw 
     something in Proclus, alerted Jamieson who saw nothing unusual 
     at 2043h, but tho't Secchi was quite bright. At 2035 Sparks saw 
     Proc. fluctuate. Red & blue filters showed some reduction in 
     brightness. E. edge showed darkening, but not as dark as in 
     shadows. 10 min later, returned to normal. (Sparks confirmed 
     Dean)." NASA catalog weight=5. NASA catalog ID #1267. ALPO/BAA 
     weight=3.


2025-Aug-02 UT 02:50-04:12 Ill=56% Secchi observed by Dean on 1970-7-11

     1970 Jul 11 UT 20:35-20:45 During a TLP alert for Proclus, Jamieson  
     saw nothing unusual, but found instead that Secchi was quite bright.  
     NASA catalog weight=5 (very good). NASA catalog ID #1267. ALPO/BAA 
     weight=1.


2025-Aug-02 UT 02:50-03:32 Ill=56% Alphonsus observed by Cook_AC on 1982-7-28

     On 1982 Jul 28 at UT20:38-20:48UT A.C. Cook (Frimley, Surrey, UK, 12" 
     reflector, seeing IV-V, some spurious colour prsent) observed that the 
     central peak of Alphonsus was brighter in red light than in blue, so 
     much so that at the start of the session the peak could hardly be seen 
     in blue light. The central peak varied in brightness in red light but 
     not in white light. The central peak of arzachel was brighter than that 
     of Alphonsus in white light but had no colour - Arzachel's central peak 
     did however appear to fade in brightness over time (or was it Alphonsus 
     getting brighter?). Cameron 2006 catalog ID=177 and weight=3. The 
     ALPO/BAA weight=2.


2025-Aug-02 UT 02:50-03:32 Ill=56% Picard observed by Kursewicz_P on 1994-4-19

     On 1994 Apr 19 at UT 00:00 P. Kursewicz (Epping, NH, USA) observed a

2025-Aug-02 UT 02:50-03:23 Ill=56% Mons_Pico observed by Adee_J on 2008-4-13

     2009 Apr 13 UT 18:55-20:00 J. Adee (UK) and later A. Jarwaski (UK) saw 
     Mons Pico to be incredibly bright. Adee reported naked eye visibility, 
     though this does not show up in later CCD images. Jarwaski saw another 
     nearby Mt very bright as well. This has been assigned an ALPO/BAA 
     weight of 1, though I suspect it is just normal for Pico to get quite 
     bright at sunrise.


2025-Aug-02 UT 02:50-03:28 Ill=56% Montes_Apenninus observed by Armitage_J on 2008-4-13

     Patches of brightness seen in the area between craters Aratus and Joy.
     Seemed to the observer to be perhaps slightly brighter than one would
     expect - the observer thought that their observation only barely
     constitured a TLP but decided to send the report in anyway. This
     has been assigned an ALPO/BAA weight of 1.

     defined obscur. in blue photo in S. part of crater compared with 
     orange. (neg. is so faint it is doubtful. Apollo 13 watch. Similar to 
     Alter's findings in Alphonsus)." NASA catalog weight=2 (low). NASA 
     catalog ID #1250.

     USA, 31cm reflector, x420, seeing fairly good, transparency 
     fair) - Obscur. of floor (seen a few hours after Wilkins & Moore 
     obs. confirm.?) " - indeed Haas in Stolling Astronomer 2002 Vol 
     45, p29 states that Cragg was amazed to see Plato's floor with 
     absolutely nothing on it! He was able to draw details elsewhere 
     in other features. NASA catalog weight=5. NASA TLP ID No. #551. 
     ALPO/BAA weight=2.


2025-Aug-03 UT 02:49-03:13 Ill=65% Plato observed by Marshall_KP on 1982-11-24

     reflector, x100, x200, x480, seeing III, reasonably steady, but 
     some turbulence. No craters could be seen on Plato's floor, 
     despite observing conditions being acceptable. The floor was 
     evenly toned, and the walls were sharply defined. By 23:10 there 
     was a suspicion that the central craterlet was there, but he 
     could not quite make it out, even with averted vision. ALPO/BAA 
     weight=1.


2025-Aug-03 UT 02:49-03:41 Ill=65% Proclus observed by Darling_D on 1988-7-23

     On 1988 Jul 23 at UT03:07 D. Darling (Sun Praire, WI, USA, 12" 
     reflector, x150, seeing = 6/10) discovered that the dark area on the 
     floor of Proclus, seen earlier by UK observers was still present, but 
     less so (?) and the shape changed. When viewed through a green filter 
     it was less distinct. "Change with two other filters. Polarizer gave a 
     circular shape with a knot on SE side & W58 in White." The measured 
     brightness of Proclus was 9 on three sides and 8.5 on its west rim. The 
     floor was 5.5, but the dark spot was 4. Alphonsus, Bullialdus, 
     Copernicus, Eratosthenes, Plato and Ptolemeaus were all normal. The 
     Cameron 2006 catalog ID=332 and the weight=1. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.

     Plato 1976 Nov 30 UT 19:15 T. Flynn (Edinburgh, UK, 29cm 
     reflector, Wratten 25 and 44a filters) observed that there 
     were two whitish semi-circular tide like marks enclosing two 
     dark patches adjoining the interior west wall The observer was 
     puzzled because if these were two masses of spawning foot 
     hills, then why would the cental areas, presumably the higher 
     parts, be dark - when the contrary is usually the case? 
     ALPO.BAA weight=1.

     Gassendi 1967 Jun 18 UT 21:10-22:30 Observed by Whippey 
     (Northalt, England, 6" reflector?) "Faint redness outside NE & 
     SE wall of crater." Moore (10" Armagh refractor, x360) was 
     observing too 22:10-22:40, with and without a Moon Blink but

2025-Aug-05 UT 05:24-06:36 Ill=83% 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.


2025-Aug-05 UT 05:31-06:36 Ill=83% 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 
     weight=1.


2025-Aug-05 UT 06:33-06:36 Ill=83% Plato observed by Moseley_T on 1966-9-25

2025-Aug-06 UT 02:46-03:24 Ill=89% Aristarchus observed by Greenacre on 1963-11-28 *

     On 1963 Nov 28 at UT 05:00-06:00 Greenacre, Barr, Hall and 
     Dungan (Flagstaff, AZ, USA, 24" refractor) observed a deep violet 
     area form on the western exterior of Aristarchus, and a less deep 
     violet area form to the eastern edge of Aristarchus. As these

     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,

     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.

     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

     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.

2025-Aug-15 UT 11:51-13:19 Ill=58% Aristarchus observed by Sage_VA on 1978-10-23

     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.

2025-Aug-20 UT 12:18-12:49 Ill=8% Fra_Mauro observed by ALSEP on 1971-2-22

     On 1971 Feb 22 at UT 02:47-16:38 an Apollo ALSEP experiment 
     detected an initial gas event in Fra Mauro. Sharp 4 second 
     rise time, 1 hour delay time with 10 times increase in 
     intensity. Molecular weight was between 14 and 20. Could have 
     been Ne, Fl, O or H2O - the latter was thought best by 
     Freeman. Duration of event 13 hours. The Cameron 1978 catalog 
     ID-1284 and weight=5. The ALPO/BAA weight=5.


2025-Aug-20 UT 12:18-13:22 Ill=8% Plato observed by North_G on 1986-5-5

     On 1986 May 05 G. North (Herstmonceux, Sussex, UK, 30" reflector) found 
     that the crater (floor?) Plato was featureless, even during the better 
     moments of atmospheric seeing conditions. A spectra was taken but 
     nothing unusual was seen. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=284 and the 
     weight=1. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.

2025-Aug-20 UT 13:03-13:22 Ill=8% Littrow observed by Scholes on 1919-12-19

     In 1919 Dec 19 at UT 04:00 Scholes (Huddersfield, England? USA) 
     observed near Littrow a conspicuous ink-black mark (North of Cape 
     Argaeus or S of  Kittrow, The Cameron 1978 catalog ID=374 and the 
     weight=1. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Aug-28 UT 02:21-02:40 Ill=22% Mare_Crisium observed by Castro_T on 1991-6-16

     On 1991 Jun 16/17 at UT 20:30-00:30 T. Castro (Sao Paulo, 
     Brazil, 24" reflector, x500) observed "Large white spot with 
     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 
     the weight=5. The ALPO/BAA weight=1. 


2025-Aug-28 UT 02:21-02:40 Ill=22% S_Pole observed by Masini_R on 2009-1-30

     On 2009 Jan 30 ay 22:35:20UT +/-2 min R. Masini (Perth, Australia) saw 
     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-Aug-29 UT 02:20-03:00 Ill=30% Mare_Crisium observed by Castro_T on 1991-6-17

     On 1991 Jun 17 at UT 20:30 T. Castro (Sao Paulo, Brazil, 24"
     reflector, x500) observed "Large white spot with tail eastward 
     shore of M. Crisium." The effect was seen on several nights but 
     had faded completely by 20th June. Tonight it varied in 
     brightness from "7.5-9.5 albedo" The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=430 
     and the weight=5. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.
