     On 1952 Feb 05 at UT 05:10 J.Carle (USA, 8" reflector, x180) 
     observed the following in Plato: "A shadow in a depression, or 
     a cloud, or an optical illus.? Oval dark area nr. center,

2025-Oct-01 UT 07:14-08:58 Ill=63% Copernicus observed by Darling_D on 1990-8-30

     On 1990 Aug 30 at UT02:11-02:36 D. Darling (Sun Praire, WI, USA, 3" 
     refractor, x90, seeing conditions: "at,. boiling") noted a coloured 
     area on the west wall of Copernicus that was unusual in appearance - 
     however other craters along the terminator had a similar effect. There 
     was also a "dazzling bright spot on the E. rim and he witnessed 6 
     flashes from the lighted part of Copernicus over a very short time 
     interval. Cameron comments that the colour may well have been dur to 
     chromatic aberation because a refractor was used. The Cameron 2006 
     catalog ID=408 and the weight=0. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Oct-01 UT 07:14-08:58 Ill=63% Proclus observed by Darling_D on 1990-8-30

     On 1990 Aug 30 at UT 02:11-02:36 D. Darling (Sun Praire, WI, USA, 3" 
     reflector, x90, atmosphereic conditions: boiling) found "N rim of Proc. 
     bright interior uniform gray". The Cameron 2006 catalog report is 
     slight unclear as the description for thnis 1990 Aug 30 TLP also 
     includes Copernicus and Censorinus in the list of TLP craters. So one 
     description which might refere to Copernicus, could possibly have been 
     meant for Proclus, namely: "Dazling bright spot on E rim. Rotated 
     eyepiece but no change. N rim of Proc.......". The Cameron 2006 catalog 
     ID=408 and weight=0. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.

2025-Oct-02 UT 09:24-10:36 Ill=73% Sinus_Iridum observed by Manske_R on 1987-10-3

     On 1987 Oct 03 at UT 01:0?0-02:00 R. Manske (Brooklyn, WI, USA, 8" 
     reflector, x226) observed sunlight glinting of the walls in spectacular 
     display of colours. White (even gold) was seen at the centre, and blue 
     on the top most part of the rim. The white (or gold) band was thin in 
     comparison to other bands. The observer suspects that this effect was 
     terrestrial atmosphere related. Cameron 2006 catalog ID=307 and weight=
     0. ALPO/BAA weight=1. 


2025-Oct-02 UT 09:49-10:27 Ill=73% Plato observed by Moore_P on 1981-6-12

     P. Moore at 21:10 found the southern wall (and ontothe southern floor)
     of the crater to be indistinct. Elsewhere in the crater everything was
     sharp. The effect was still seen at 21:42UT, but less strong. A check
     was made for colour with aq Moonblink device, but none was seen. There
     was still a trace of this effect at 21:44UT, although detail was now
     becoming visible. By 21:48UT vertical streaks were seen crossing
     the floor from the obscuration area and these were more visible in the 
     red filter and not in the blue. Cameron comments that undefined patches
     on the floor of Plato are not normal. By 21:55UT some craterlets on the
     floor started to become visible and the TLP for Moore ended by UT22:23.
     P.Foley was alerted by Moore and saw a "amssive dense obsecuration
     on the south wall, south floor and south outer glacis to the Mare".
     Foley noted that by 21:50UT the effect was fading and finished by 
     22:03UT. Foley reported an orange translucent haze covering half of the 
     floor, but floor craterlets could be seen on and off - however his 
     atmospheric seeing conditions were IV. At 22:00 UT Foley reported the 
     floor close to the north wall to be "milky or misty". No detail was 
     visible at 21:15UT and variability in the floor continued until 
     23:10UT. Hedly-Robinson was aleted at 21:35UT and found no difference 
     between red and blue views of the area, however he did find that the 
     south rim was indistinct although this effect had lessened by 22:00 UT 
     and was normal by 22:17UT. M. Mobberly saw a white spot on the floor at 
     21:20 UT, whereas he normally would have expected to see craterlets. 
     Mobberly was alerted at 21:40 UT and took some colour photos. He also 
     made sketches that showed variability in the floor and dark lines and 
     patches in the north west corner. However the altitude of the Moon was 
     low. Cameron mentions that two of the photos show loss of detail at the 
     south wall and beyond.and also a change in the floor markings.The north 
     wall at 21:50UT was strangely reddish (didn't think this was spurious 
     colour). The rest of the wall was sharp at 22:20UT through a yellow 
     filter. Large bright patch in the centre and rest of the floor was 
     apparently of the same shading as Mare Imbrium. The above notes are 
     based upon the Cameron 2006 catalog extension TLP ID 145 and weight=4.

     On 1990 Jan 07 at UT 20:20-20:58 G.North (Herstmonceux, UK) thought 
     that he detected dullness in Torricelli B crater - Cameron comments 
     that this cannot be shadow). The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=386 and the

2025-Oct-03 UT 08:13-10:01 Ill=82% Aristarchus observed by Weier_D on 1990-1-8

     On 1990 Jan 08 at UT00:55 D. Weier (Sun Praire, WI, USA, 12.5" 
     reflector, x159) observed an "anomalous black bar across Aris. Nearly 
     digonal to terminator." The nearby crater Prinz had curious shadow 
     patterns, perhaps related to the rising sun projecting shadows from the 
     eastern rim and "reflected down"? "At 0224 W wall had a break in it & a 
     diffuse glow where it should not be. Manske thinks it was Earthshine 
     effect. At 0305 Weier saw Manske's bar - with diffused light and 
     flicker like an aurora - like a gas with electric charge. At 0325 saw a 
     strange glow in Aris. but may be due to atm. though thought it to be a 
     LTP. Darling had never seen such effects before (flickering implies a 
     medium in it)." The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=387 and the weight=3. The 
     ALPO/BAA weight=3.


2025-Oct-03 UT 08:20-11:09 Ill=82% Gassendi observed by Unknown_English_Observer on 1977-4-29 *

     On 1977 Apr 29 at UT21:40-23:20 an unknown UK observer reported a TLP 
     in Gassendi crater. The following are reports by observers attempting 
     to confirm activity: J.W. Napper (Didcot, UK, 30cm reflector, x287, 
     Wratten 25 and 44a, conditions clear 5+) received a telephone alert 
     call at 22:00 but the sky was cloudy until 22:30. An initial look 
     revealed nothing unusual, then at 22:54 he observed a colour blink just 
     inside the north wall, appearing bright in red and normal in blue or 
     white light. No loss of detail seen and the effect lasted only 2 
     minutes. A sketch was made. However the observer stresses that the very 
     bad seeing casts some doubt on this observation. L. Fitton observed 
     using a 8.5" reflector, with Moon blink device at x200, seeing was I-
     II. All areas negative, including Gassindi from 21:40-21:55 and again 
     22;00-22:25 and finally 22:50-23:30 negative. Mike Brown (Huntington, 
     York, UK, 30cm reflector, x220 and x350, seeing 3-4/5, and transparency 
     5/5) - observed from 22:00-23:25UT no colour seen, nor obsecuration, 
     all filters negative, despite seeing a lot of fine setail inside this 
     crater.

     and x207, seeing=III-V and transparency=fair) found that the interior 
     shadow was a light grey. BAA TLP coordinator (Foley) suggests that this 
     was light reflecting from the illuminated walls? Cameron 2006 catalog

     Gassendi. He had been observing earlier at 18:40-19:30 but had not 
     detected a TLP in Gassendi then. 22:11UT Robinson notices that the spot 
     outside the east wall is again bright in red., though by 22:25 it had 
     faded  and was gone by 22:28UT. The Cameron 1978 catalog further 
     quotes: "Vivid red spots & general red color seen around rim by 2 obs. 
     At 2209h blood red small area was seen. 1 h later the most westerly

     On 1980 Jul 24 at UT22:10-22:55 P. Moore (Selsey, UK, 15" reflector, 
     x360 and x400) found an area just south east of the central peak (and 
     upto the wall) to be quite dark in blue light, but normal brightness in 
     red light or in white light. All other features were normal colour-
     wise. At 22:55UT Tycho was normal again. Cameron 2006 catalog ID=103

2025-Oct-04 UT 09:38-10:54 Ill=90% Aristarchus observed by Foley_PW on 1984-1-15

     Foley (Kent, UK) saw the west wall dull and stongly coloured. Moore 
     (Sussex, UK) saw the wall as normal. However Cameron points out that 
     Foley (Kent, UK) is a lot more Blue/UV sensitive than Moore. Mosely 
     (Covington, UK) at 22:10 UT noticed a brightening on the East wall and 
     at 01:10-01:25 UT suspected that the interior had a weak yellow-green 
     cast to it. Cook (Frimley, UK) states that orange colour was within the
     interior crater, but green beyond the east rim at the 9 O'Clock and
     the south east corner to floor blue/mauvre beyond the northern rim 
     NW/WSW. Foley sstates that orange and blue/mauvre might be spurious 
     colour, but green one cannot get this way. Cameon suggests chromatic 
     aberatons as a possibility but thinks that the observers concerned were 
     experienced enough to recognize this if it were the cause. Cameron 2006 
     catalog extension ID=239 and weight=0. Moore used a 15?" refletor and 
     Foley used a 12" refletor. Mosely experienced II seeing and good

2025-Oct-06 UT 15:14-15:19 Ill=99% Aristarchus observed by Mobberley_M on 1984-12-7

     On 1984 Dec 07 at UT 19:30-23:30 M. Mobberley (St Edmunds, UK, 
     seeing=IV-V, transparency=good, spurious colour seen) found 2 
     bright pathces on the east rim on alternate sides of a bright region. 
     The band from the central 16km wide region was dark on the east side. 
     Foley (Kent, UK, 12"reflector, seeing=II-III) found Aristarchus to be 
     not as bright as normal, apart from the band that Mobberley found (1 
     hour later). The dark regions were a murky green colour (bright through 
     green, blue and yellow filters and dark through red and orange 
     filters). Cook (Frimley, UK, transparency=excellent, CCD camera used) 
     found a bright "bulge"on the eastern side. Apparently data suggests 
     that the band was brighter in red than in near IR light. Cook's 
     calibrated brightness measurements suggest that there was no change in 
     brightness over the crater with time. Two other bright points were 
     seen: one at the Cobra's Head and another half way between the east rim 
     of Aristarchus and passes Herodotus. Wratten 29 (deep red), Wratten 87 
     (near IR) and combined Wratten 29 and Wratten 87 were used. In the red 
     Wratten 29 filter the brightness falls at22:20 at Shroters valley and 
     then rises in the bright ray. They return to normal at 22:30UT. There 
     was however a lot of measurement noise from the brightness readings of 
     points B and D. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=256 and the weight=5. The

2025-Oct-07 UT 08:34-10:29 Ill=100% Aristarchus observed by Porter on 1978-8-19

     On 1978 Aug 19 at UT02:45-04:00 Porter (Naragansetts, RI, USA, using a 
     6" reflector, Seing = 6/10) noticed blue on the north east corner of 
     Aristarchus and an orange glow on the south east wall. They detected no 
     movement or change in brightness. The observer used both eyes, to make 
     sure it was not an eye defect, and three filters: red Wratten 25, blue 
     Wratten 82 and Violet Wratten 47. Porter found that the colours faded 
     for a duration of 5 minutes and then returned. Their right eye gave a 
     good view and using their left eye they suspected that it was 0.5 steps 
     brighter than the remainder of the crater. The suspected colour 
     remained visible, even under moments of good seeing conditions. The 
     colour eventually faded over time and was eventually gone. Porter 
     reportd seein gcolour here on the following night. Apparently other 
     bright spots showed no colour. Fitton suggests that the filters used 
     confirm that the south east wass was definitely red in colour. The

     On 1990 Dec 03 at UT23:00-01:30 M.C. Cook (Frimley, Surrey, UK) noticed 
     that the central peak of Aristarchus was quite bright and extended to a 
     circular region in the east in the crater "sprout" area - Cameron 
     suggests that this is Bartletts self defined EWBS area?. Beyond the rim 
     to the east was very bright. However no colour effect was seen in 
     filters. A sketch was supplied. Cameron notes the coincidence of 
     perigee and full Moon. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID is 416 and the

     12.5" reflector at x300-400 - seeing IV) saw colour in Aristarchus (red 
     on the south east wall and southern "horn" of the crater. He could not 
     detect colour elsewhere, but felt that the effect might have been 
     spurious colour. With the increasing altitude of the Moon the light 
     effect decreased. Moore detected red the next night as well (May 25th) 
     and on May 27th, but it was not present on May 29th. The Cameron 2006

     On 1990 Jan 14 at UT 01:14-01:55 M.C. Cook (Frimley, UK, seeing=poor) 
     observed that Aristarchus did not appear normal for this illumination. 
     the northern half of Aristarchus was "2x>" than the southern half of 
     the crater. There were two white patches of apron material near to the 
     crater Herodotus that were 50% of the brightness of the southern half 
     of Aristarchus. Furthermore the southern half of Aristarchus had a 
     circle - "dull patch on inner S wall with a bright point shining

2025-Oct-10 UT 13:39-14:55 Ill=83% Macrobius observed by Gray_R on 2005-10-21

     On 2005 Oct 21 at UT 13:07-14:27 R. Gray (Winnemucca, NV, USA, 15cm F/9 
     refractor, x228, seeing 4-5, transparency 5-6) observed a possible TLP 
     in Macrobius. His report is as follows: "Blinked Macrobius with Wratten 
     Filters Blue 38A and Red 29. Macrobius became almost invisible through 
     the Blue 38A and essentially the same as in white light through the Red 
     29. The interior of the crater was completely in shadow. The only part 
     of the east wall that was visible was an apparent high point still in
     the sun and seen as a bright point of light. This faded into darkness 
     before 13:56UT. No sign of any illumination of the east wall crater 
     interior or the interior of the west wall was seen during the
     observation period. The outer west wall was a rough looking, 
     complicated mix of deep shadow and illuminated sunlit terrain." The 
     observer concluded that there was not a TLP - although he did get a 
     filter reaction, this may have been due to the different densities of 
     the filters? ALPO/BAA weight=2.

     Messier A 1951 Oct 20 UT 00:00? Observed by Moore (England) 
     "Brilliant white circular patch in it. has seen it & Messier 
     blurred several times." NASA catalog weight=4 (good). NASA 
     catalog ID #545 Note that the date and time given are probably 
     wrong as the Sun is ~7deg below the local horizon at this time. 
     ALPO/BAA weight=1 to reflect this error.


2025-Oct-11 UT 11:33-13:12 Ill=74% Aristarchus observed by Haas_W on 1957-10-13

     Aristarchus 1957 Oct 13 UT 07:00?$ W.Haas, according to the 1978 
     NASA Catalog is supposed to have seen a bright spot of light -- 
     "explosion" in this crater. Confirmation of activity
     in Aristarchus - Three independent observations within 4 hours.
     Cameron 1978 catalog weight=5 and TLP ID No.=676. Private
     comunication with Haas shows that he recorded nothing unusual
     on the 12th or 13th. Therefore an ALPO/BAA weight of 1 has
     been given until this matter is cleared up.


2025-Oct-11 UT 12:55-14:37 Ill=74% Fracastorius observed by Amorim_A on 2022-4-21

     Fracastorius 2022 Apr 21 UT 01:35-02:12 A. Amorim (Brazil - 
     90mm f/10 refractor, 25 & 10mm eyepieces ) observed visually a 
     little bright spot near the centre of the otherwise completely 
     shadow filled crater. The bright spot was surrounded by a coma 
     effect. Clouds intervened but by 02:12 the spot was no longer 
     visible, just a thin patch of light close to the crater's 
     centre. Observations started when the Moon's altitude was 15 
     deg and ended when it was 23 deg above the horizon. ALPO/BAA 
     weight=1. 


2025-Oct-11 UT 15:27-17:01 Ill=73% Aristarchus observed by Louderback_D on 1991-7-31

     On 1991 Jul 31 at UT 07:50 D. Louderback (South Bend, WA, USA, 3" 
     refractor) observed that the south floor of Aristarchus was wellow - 
     "almost gold, spilled over S wall on ray toward Herodotus". Cameron 
     comments that Bartlett often reported a yellow floor but not a spill of 
     the colour over to the external ray. Cameron also comments that 
     Louderback's refractor would refract more in blue light than in yellow, 
     therefore she did not think that it was due to chromatic aberation. The 
     Cameron 2006 catalog ID=431 and the weight=3. The ALPO/BAA weight=2. 


2025-Oct-11 UT 15:27-17:01 Ill=73% Mons_Piton observed by Louderback_D on 1991-7-31

     On 1991 Jul 31 at UT 07:50 D. Louderback (South Bend, WA, USA, 3" 
     refractor) found that all of Mons Piton was "unusually dark". Points D, 
     C (E and S resp), usually brightest points, but this time were not 
     bright. "Whole mt was as dark as W wall usually is at this time. In 
     violet filter Piton disappeared completely, but was a little brighter 
     in red filter and points D & G showed. Color not seen by eye. No albedo 
     measured. Suggests red event." Cameron rules out chromatic aberation 
     from Louderback's refractor. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=431 and the 
     weight=3. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.

2025-Oct-12 UT 11:57-13:49 Ill=63% Aristarchus observed by Stochard on 1862-11-12

     Stochard of Dublin, Ireland, saw naked eye at 10:30UT on
     1862 Nov 12 Aristarchus as extraordinarily bright as a bright
     spot on the Moon. This was seen in daylight with the waning
     crescent. Cameron 2006 extension catalog ID=6 and weight=3.
     ALPO/BAA weight=2.


2025-Oct-12 UT 12:36-14:02 Ill=63% Cabeus observed by Grego_P on 2009-9-9

     On 2009 Sep 09 UT23:31:43 P.Grego (St Dennis, Cornwall, UK, seeing II-
     III) suspected a flash south of Cabeus, just beyond the terminator.
     It was not bright, and lasted a fraction of a second. Thinks it might
     have been illusory as he saw some fainter flashes (cosmic rays?) 
     during that nights observing session. ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Oct-13 UT 11:07-12:04 Ill=53% Aristarchus observed by Madej_P on 1983-1-5 *

     On 1983 Jan 05 at UT22:00 P. Madej (Huddersfield, UK) noticed some 
     colour on Aristarchus. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=195 and the weight=
     2. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Oct-13 UT 13:20-14:48 Ill=52% Alphonsus observed by Brook_C on 2009-9-11

     On 2009 Sep 11 UT00:15-00:20 and 01:00-01:05 C.Brook (Plymouth, UK, 5" 
     O.G., x100, seeing tremourlous but definition improving over time) 
     noticed that the central peak(s) in Alphonsus were brightening 
     gradually. No effect was seen earlier at UT23:30-23:35. One presumes
     that the effect also occured between these two observing times?
     The observer suspects that this was not a TLP, but is uncertain.
     ALPO/BAA weight=1.

2025-Oct-14 UT 13:16-14:03 Ill=41% Tycho observed by Cook_MC on 2009-9-11

     On 2009 Sep 11/12 UT23:28-00:00 M.C. Cook (Mundesley, UK, 90mm Questar,
     x80 and x190, seeing II and transparency moderate-poor) observed
     pink on the north west rim of Tycho and green-blue on the inner
     SW rim. No sign of colour elsewhere on the Moon except for the
     S-E rim of Plato that was red. The Moon was about 20 deg in altitude
     at the time. The effect had gone by the end of the observing period. 
     A simulation of spurious colour in different directions 
     was generated by the BAA Lunar Section and found to possibly account 
     for these colours, although there should have been some strong colours 
     seen elsewhere in Tycho and none were. The BAA/ALPO weight=2.

     Two observing times are given for two observers, 10:30-11:07 UT and 
     10:45-10:52UT. Castle (Rock Island, IL, USA, 8" 51x and 102x reflector) 
     found that the Proclus region was brighter than the rest of the 
     Earthlit region. They used averted vision at x102 and noticed that 
     Proclus was the brightest object in the center of a glowing area. The 
     size of the glowing area was three times that of the diameter of 
     Proclus in the E-W direction and 4-5 x the diameter in the N-S 
     direction. East of glow was not so well defined. Darling (Sun Praire, 
     WI, USA, 3" reftactor x56) noticed a brightening in the Earthshine in 
     this region and alerted Brit. but they were clouded out.Cameron 2006

     Five observers saw the upper horn split in two then a flaming torch 
     sprang up. Body of the Moon throbbed and withered, twelve times. Then 
     it took on a blackish hue. Hartung thinks it was due to an impact. 
     Giordano Bruno crater on the far side was a suspect until it was proven 
     to  be too old. Cameron suggests that it might be related to 
     atmospheric aberration near the horizon. ALPO/BAA catalog weight=2.

     On 1980 Apr 18 at UT 19:00-22:30 P. Madej (Huddersfield, UK) saw two 
     very bright flashes on the eastern edge of Littrow, spaced 40 seconds 
     apart. Ricketts observed blue flashes approximately 20-30 sec apart and 
     Foley saw faint blue. Cameron 2006 catalog ID=86 and weight=5. ALPO/BAA 
     weight=3.


2025-Oct-25 UT 04:55-05:17 Ill=12% Aristarchus observed by Cook_MC on 1983-5-15

     On 1983 May 15 at UT21:30-22:30 M.C. Cook and J.D. Cook (Frimley, UK) 
     could clearly see Aristarchus in Earthshine, whereas earlier that night 
     P.W. Foley (Kent, UK) could not see the crater although other features 
     were cisible. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=215 and the weight=2. The 
     ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Oct-25 UT 05:12-05:36 Ill=12% Grimaldi observed by Darling_D on 1991-12-9

     On 1991 Dec 09/10 at UT 23:53-00:12 D. Darling (Sun Praire, WI, USA, 
     3" refractor, x36) witnessed a flash in Grimaldi crater. Cameron 
     comments that others had seen a flash there earlier, and there was a 
     meteor swarm. Fritschel (madison, WI, USA, naked eye observing) 
     detected 3 flashes in Grimaldi and also at the western limb of the 
     Moon. D. Weier (Sun Praire, WI, USA, 3"refractor, x36) was also 
     observing. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=436 and the weight=5. The 
     ALPO/BAA weight=2.


2025-Oct-25 UT 05:25-05:36 Ill=12% Taruntius observed by Osawa on 1968-12-23

     On 1968 Dec 23 at UT 08:40-08:45 Osawa (Kyoto-Ken, Japan, 8" 
     reflector, x167 and x212, S=3-4, saw Taruntius crater (and a 
     wrinkle ridge) to be bright through a red filter. Cameron 
     mentions that this was during the Apollo 8 watch. The Cameron 
     1978 catalog ID=1108 and weight=3? The ALPO/BAA weight=2.


2025-Oct-25 UT 05:34-05:36 Ill=12% Aristarchus observed by Mackey on 1971-10-22

     Aristarchus 1971 Oct 22 UT 19:43-19:56 A.Mackay (Hatton, UK, 15cm 
     reflector, x50) observed a pale pink on the W(IAU?) half of 
     Aristarchus and a pale shade of blue on the E(IAU?) half. The 
     effect faded from 19:56UT onwards and had gone 2 minutes later. 
     No information on whether other craters exhibited this effect, 
     given. Burgess, who observed later did not see any colour. 
     ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Oct-25 UT 05:35-05:36 Ill=12% Aristarchus observed by Foley_PW on 1980-4-18

     On 1980 Apr 16 at UT 20:00-22:20 P.W. Foley (Kent,UK, 12" reflector, 
     seeing II-III) found that Aristarchus could barely be seen. Therefore 
     it was not possible to take CED brightness measurements. Strangely 
     Cassini, Kepler, Plato and Mons Pico could be seen. However at 
     20:16 UT St Elmo fire-like flashes were seen coming from the interior 
     south east corner of Aristarchus at 20:16 UT and then the brightnesss 
     spread to fill the rest of he crater. Duration was about 5-20 sec 
     (Cameron comments: atmospheric effects?). The crater reached peak 
     brightness at 20:17UT (CED reading of 8). Foley comments that the 
     crater rim and area 16-24km around this (including Herodoyus) had a 
     translucent radiance. However at 20:25UT the brightness reduced 
     (including Herodotus) down to CED 3, however the blue radiance 
     remained. At 21:07UT Foley saw a star-like flash in the south east of 
     the floor (CED 3-4). Grimaldi was found to be of constant brightness by 
     comparison using the CED Brightness=2). At 20:20UT Amery (Reading, UK) 
     found Aristarchus to be a well visible circular fluorescent patch. At 
     20:40 Amery found the region between Aristarchus and Herodoutus was 
     glowing - appeared almost as a flare from Aristarchus and by 20:55UT 
     there was also a flare to the west of Aristarchus. At 20:27 Madej 
     (Huddersfield) detected only a slight glow from Aristarchus and the 
     region affected was small - indeed the glow had gone by 20:46. At 20:40 
     Ricketts detected a "continuous blue emission" - this had a cycle of 5-
     10 sec (Cameron comments: atmosphere?). Saxton (Leeds, UK) detected at 
     20:42 "translucent effects and variations" at 20:42 noticed a star-like 
     point. At 19:00-21:40 M. Price (Camberley, UK) decided that Aristarchus 
     was fainter in brightness than normal. Peters observed a faint nebulous 
     spot at at 20:25-21:00 that changed in brightness in an irregular way.

2025-Oct-25 UT 05:20-05:38 Ill=12% Earthshine: sporadic meteors

2025-Oct-26 UT 04:54-06:03 Ill=18% Aristarchus observed by Taylor_TG on 1837-3-11

     1837Mar11 UT 15:27 (20:48 local time) T.G. Taylor (Madras,
     India) whilst observing a star being occulted, noticed a 
     6th magnitude nebulous spot where Aristarchus should be. Had 
     never seen anything quite as bright as this on previous 
     occasions (except the day before). ALPO/BAA weight=2. 


2025-Oct-26 UT 04:54-05:16 Ill=18% Aristarchus observed by Hobdell on 1981-6-7

     On 1981 Jun 07 at UT02:30-03:00 B. Hobdell (St Petersberg, FL, USA, 
     10" and 4" reflectors, seeing=I) at 02:30UT saw a flash from 
     Aristarchus and another one from Schroter's valley. By 02:45UT 
     Aristarchus was starting to be difficult to see and had occasionally a 
     bluish cast. By 03:00UT the crater could only barely be seen. This was 
     odd because visibility on the Earthlit side was really rather good. The 
     Cameron 2006 catalog ID=143 and weight=0. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Oct-26 UT 04:54-05:16 Ill=18% Copernicus observed by Hobdell on 1981-6-7

     On 1981 Jun 07 at UT02:30-03:00 B. Hobdell (St Peterberg, FL, USA, 10 
     and 4" reflectors, seeing=1) saw Copernicus to be very bright in blue. 
     Clarty of Earthsine was exceptional tonight. The Cameron 2006 catalog 
     ID=143 and weight=0. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Oct-26 UT 04:54-05:48 Ill=18% W_Limb observed by Moseley_R on 1983-5-16

     W.limb 1983 May 16 UT 22:00-23:00 R.Moseley (Coventry,UK, 6" 
     reflector, x60) observed a faint but extensive brightening of 
     the W.limb, perhaps a little stronger at PA=80-90 deg. No other 
     features seen in Earthshine although Aristarchus suspected.
     ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Oct-26 UT 05:54-06:24 Ill=19% Atlas observed by Osawa on 1968-12-24

     Atlas 1968 Dec 24 at UT 09:15-10:45 Osawa (Kyoto-Ken, Japan, 8" 
     reflector, 9mm Ortho, Seeing=5, later worse) saw a slight 
     brownish hue on the northern shadowy bed in the crater. It was 
     difficult to see the difference between the glow and chromatic 
     aberation of the eyepiece. The tint never showed up in filters. 
     The ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Oct-26 UT 05:58-06:24 Ill=19% Aristarchus observed by Madej_P on 1980-4-19

     On 1980 Apr 19 at UT 20:37-20:49) P. Madej (Huddersfield, UK, 
     77mm refractor, x83 and x111) at 20:37 UT saw a slight glow at 
     x83, quite small in size. At 20:46UT no glow was seen at x83. 
     At 20:49 a slight glow seen again, but unclear and 
     illdefined - appeared larger in area at x111. Observatons 
     ceased at 21:56 dues to clid. ALPO/BAA weight=1. 


2025-Oct-26 UT 06:01-06:24 Ill=19% Taruntius observed by Buczynski_DG on 1980-4-19

     On 1980 Apr 19 at UT20:30-22:59. The following is quoted from the 
     Cameron 2006 catalog.... "(Buczynski) alerted by colleague (Greenwood) 
     who used filters W15 (IR), W25 (red), W44A (blue), & W58 (UV) and had 
     located a possible blink in it. (Bucz) used W15, W44A & W25. C.P was 
     very bright in W25 (red), dull but vis. In W44A (blue) & floor was 
     noticibly darker in W44A than in W25. Bright cp vis. In W15 & floor was 
     of a light shade. Other craters checked for color, none found. In 44A 
     floor lost some definition (gas?). Sketches from Bucz. & Greenwood. 
     (Pedler) at 2140, floor area around cp was seen in white & red as 
     normal but blink was vis in white, darker in blue. Checks of other 
     features were negative. (Amery) small dark center & small dark area - 
     not shadow - under S wall. N wall obscured by dark area extending N 
     onto surrounding mare. (normal?) which was difficult to focus (gas?). 
     At 2155 N wall now sharper & dark area less intense. Craterlet Cameron 
     in N wall clearly seen which was invisible 1/2 h earlier. (Saxton) 
     whole crater flashed and blinked at 2155. Could see detail in brighter 
     W 1/2 of crater - not seen earlier. At 2205 seeing poor, at 2215 it was 
     normal. (Blair) at 2155 used red & blue filters & in blue it was darker
     than in red. W. wall not well defined. (J. Cook) saw spurious color on 
     N & S rims. Saw a pink tinge on SE rim. (A. Cook) saw spur. Color on 
     most craters as seeing deteriorated. Got a blink on SE region > red 
     than blue". The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=87 and the weight=5. The 
     ALPO/BAA weight=3.

2025-Oct-27 UT 04:54-05:32 Ill=26% Moon observed by Hirst on 1879-10-20

     In 1879 Oct 20 UT 23:00 (Local time Oct 21 9AM) Hirst (Blue Mountains, 
     NSW, Australia) saw a large part of the Moon covered with a dark shadow 
     that was as dark as the Earth's shadow would have been if there had 
     been an eclipse. Cameron says that this is a confirmed observation. 
     Note that the Moon was just before first quarter. The Cameron 1978 
     catalog ID=215 and the weight=4. The ALPO/BAA weight=3.


2025-Oct-27 UT 04:54-06:32 Ill=26% Aristarchus observed by Lagunas on 1969-11-15

     On 1969 Nov 15 at UT 02:20-03:20 Lagunas (Santiago, Chile, 10" 
     reflector) observed some brightenings in Aristarchus during the Apollo 
     12 watch. The Cameron 1978 catalog ID=1209 and weight=0. The ALPO/BAA 
     weight=1.


2025-Oct-27 UT 04:54-06:29 Ill=26% Aristarchus observed by Foley_PW on 1980-4-20

     On 1980 Apr 20 at UT 19:25-23:43 P.W. Foley (Kent, UK, 10" reflector, 
     seeing II-III) found that Aristarchus was very bright in Earthshine 
     (also found on the photographs that he took), giving off a blue 
     "incadescence", the CED brightness reading was 5. Occasionally Foley 
     could see a star-like point in the south east corner. For comparison in 
     brightness he used highland terrain near to Grimaldi (CED=2). By 
     comparison, Buczynski and Lord, could not see Aristarchus. Earlier, 
     Geenwood saw the crater easily as a star-like point with a diffuse 
     exterior glow. Cameron says thyat this was confirmed by Buczynski and 
     Lord (?). At 20:35UT Amery decided that Aristarchus looked brighter 
     than normal. Pedler though described the crater as "small dim nebulous 
     blue or blue-green" that was invisible by 20:27UT. At 20:28-22:01 Blair 
     could not detect Aristarchus, nor could J-H Robinson at 20:40UT though 
     he did see it at 20:55UT as both diffuse and blue. Ricketts detected a 
     blow glow with irregularly spaced flashes of roughly 5-10 sec apart. 
     Cook's at Frimley, UK, saw no features in Earthshine. Cameron 2006 
     catalog ID=88 and weight=4. ALPO/BAA weight=2.


2025-Oct-27 UT 04:54-05:58 Ill=26% Aristarchus observed by Foley_PW on 1983-5-17

     On 1983 May 17 Foley (Kent, UK, 12" reflector)observed 
     Aristarchus at 22:10 and noted that it had the same rose-violet colour 
     as had been seen by him a day earlier. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=220 
     and the weight=0. The ALPO/BAA weight=2.


2025-Oct-27 UT 04:54-05:00 Ill=26% Aristarchus observed by Davis_H on 1988-11-14

     On 1988 Nov 14 at UT 17:25-18:30 H. Miles (St. Minver, 
     Cornwall, England, UK, 5"refractor? x60 and x120) found 
     Aristarchus to be a white ill-defined circular patch. At 
     17:45UT it was a lot brighter (Cameron comments that this 
     might have something to do with sky darkness). In contrast, 
     Copernicus was just seen as a white patch and the Jura 
     mountains could be seen (not as bright). Aristarchus grew 
     brighter over time and there was a bright point on the west 
     wall (seen at x60 and x120). Īt was fainter at 1854 & < At 
     1830. (Foley) said Earthshine cond. Superb with many regions 
     clearly seen, but Aris. was dull. (Cooks) in hazy condition 
     could not detect Aris." The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=338 and 
     weight=0. The ALPO weight=1.   


2025-Oct-27 UT 05:02-05:39 Ill=26% Daniell observed by Madej_P on 1979-4-2

     Daniell 1979 Apr 02 UT 21:45-22:14 Obseved by Madej (Huddersfield, UK, 
     158mm reflector, f/4.2, x36-110, seeing II-III) "Obscuration seen" BAA 
     Lunar Section Report. Cameron says that this was a bright white cloud 
     that covered three quarters of the crater. A yellow filter was used at 
     21:48, but the cloud was still white, albeit thinner (at x110). By 
     22:14UT the TLP was barely visible and again no colour seen. Buczynski 
     (Lancaster, UK, seeing = poor) saw spurious colour. Later (22:31-
     22:46UT?) Mellor obtained some photos, but these revealed no colour.
     The Cameron 1978 catalog ID=48 and the weight=3. The ALPO/BAA weight=2.


2025-Oct-27 UT 05:07-06:49 Ill=26% Piccolomini observed by Cook_MC on 1980-4-20

     On 1980 Apr 20 at UT 19:45-22:45 M.C.Cook (Frimley, UK) - colour 
     (probably spurious) seen on Piccolomini. Cameron 2006 catalog ID=88 and 
     weight=4. ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Oct-27 UT 05:27-07:09 Ill=27% Copernicus observed by Cook_JD on 1980-4-20

     On 1980 Apr 20 at UT20:05-21:02 J.D. Cook (Frimley, UK, 12" reflector, 
     x60, seeing III-IV) at the start of this session found some bright 
     spots in the area of Copernicus, and at 21:02 detected some flashes in 
     this region. Cameron 2006 catalog ID=88 and weight=1. ALPO/BAA 
     weight=1.


2025-Oct-27 UT 05:28-06:05 Ill=27% Aristarchus observed by Amery_GW on 1983-1-19

     On 1983 Jan 19 at UT 18:00-19:00 G. Amery (Reading, UK) discovered that 
     Aristarchus could not be seen in Earthshine, this was odd because less 
     prominent features could be seen. Other observers (Moore and Foley) 
     confirmed the very low brightness of the crater. The Cameron 2006 
     catalog ID=197 and the weight=2. The ALPO/BAA weight=2.


2025-Oct-27 UT 05:28-06:05 Ill=27% Messier observed by Amery_GW on 1983-1-19

     On 1983 Jan 19 at UT 18:00-19:00 G.W. Amery (Reading, UK) found that 
     Messier was difficult to define. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=197 and 
     the weight=2. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Oct-27 UT 05:49-07:17 Ill=27% Grimaldi observed by Price_M on 1980-4-20

     On 1980 Apr 20 at UT20:27 M.Price (Camberley, UK) saw a flash in the 
     Grimaldi-Aristarchus area. Cameron 2006 catalog TLP ID=88 and weight=4. 
     ALPO/BAA weight=2.


2025-Oct-27 UT 06:34-07:17 Ill=27% Fracastorius observed by Robinson_JH on 1980-4-20

     On 1980 Apr 20 at UT21:12-22:45 J-H Robinson (Teignmouth, UK, 10.5" 
     reflector, x180) found, using a Moon Blink device, evidence of colour 
     on the flor patches of Fracastorius crater, brighter in blue than in 
     red. Also the floor to center varied in brightness in blue and in red. 
     Peters observed in white light and found the south east-south wall had 
     a slight orange cast and when a Moon blink was used it was less bright 
     in blue than in red light. M. Cook found spurious colour on the south 
     rim and also on Mons Pico. There was a colour blink reaction on the 
     southeast floor of Fracastorius - this was both faint and blurred and 
     not seen in white light. A.C Cook detected the permanent blink in the 
     south east floor of the crater at 21:47 and a fainter one in the north 
     west (marginally brighter in red than in blue). J.D. Cook found no 
     colour with the Moon blink device. 21:22-22:10 P.W. Foley got a strong 
     colour reaction with the Moon Blink device - brighter in red than in 
     blue and detected a pink colour visually on the south east wall 22:10-
     22:45 (this did not give a blink effect though). Cameron 2006 catalog 
     ID=88 and weight=4. ALPO/BAA weight=2.


2025-Oct-27 UT 07:00-07:17 Ill=27% Petavius observed by Blair_G on 1980-4-20

     On 1980 Apr 20 at UT21:38-21:50, Blair of Renfrewshire, Scotland (used 
     an 8" reflector and seeing=III) saw three patches in Petavius and they 
     could still be seen 7 minutes later. At 21:50UT he used a filter and 
     found the "northern one was brighter in blue, the southern one was 
     brighter in red and the central one was the same shad ein both 
     filters." Cameron comments that the central patch was a permananent 
     one. She then goes onto say that the crater is described as having dark 
     patches that are opposite to what one would expect from Fitton's theory 
     applied to dark features. Cameron 2006 extension catalog ID=88 and 
     weight=4. ALPO/BAA weight=2.

2025-Oct-28 UT 04:53-05:00 Ill=35% Linne observed by Buckingham on 1867-8-6

     Linne 1867 Aug 06 UT 21:00? Observed by Buckingham (England?) 
     "Crater in darkness, he saw a "rising oval spot". Other obs. 
     saw it as a triang. Bold black spot pointing to earth, slowly 
     diffused white & drift of white on slope of pyramid. (indep. 
     confirmation?)" NASA catalog weight=5 and catalog ID #155. 
     ALPO/BAA weight=2.


2025-Oct-28 UT 04:53-05:48 Ill=35% Apianus_D observed by Power_F on 2011-10-3

     Apianus D On 2011 Oct 03 UT 21:00-21:20 F. Power (Meath, 
     Ireland, 11" SCT) observed changing colours (blue, white, and 
     red) on the inner western rim of this crater. He changed 
     eyepieces and moved the scope around to look at dufferent parts 
     of the Moon, but nowhere else exhibited anything similar. As 
     another test he asked his wife to have a look without telling 
     her what he was seeing. She confirmed the same effect. 5 digital 
     camera images had been taken. Most of these were out of focus 
     and the first one was saturated, however one of them showed a 
     approximately 35 km long, by 11 km wide (at the north) lopsided 
     carrot shaped orange colour to the western rim of Apianus D. No 
     similar strong colour could be seen anywhere else on the image, 
     nor on the other 4 images. This TLP is being given an ALPO/BAA 
     weight of 1 as the Moon was low, but an image taken looks 
     interesting.


2025-Oct-28 UT 05:19-06:50 Ill=36% Censorinus observed by Holmes_D on 1988-11-15

     On 1988 Nov 15 UT 19:15 Holmes (Rockdale, UK, 215mm Newtonian) noticed 
     the Censorinus apron (just east of the crater and including the rim) 
     was fuzzy but the crater was clear - a sketch was provided. A BAA Lunar 
     Section observation.Cameron 2006 Catalog Extension ID=339 and weight=3.

2025-Oct-28 UT 05:55-07:44 Ill=36% Torricelli_B observed by Braga_R on 2001-4-29

     On 2001 Apr 29 at UT 20:50 R. Braga (Italy) reported that without any 
     filter, the brightness of the east wall of Torricelli B was halfway 
     Torricelli C (faintest) and Moltke (brightest). By insering a Wratten 
     25 red filter though, the crater was slightly more evident. However 
     using a blue Wratten 39A filter, the crater vanished completely, whilst 
     Toricelli C remained. The ALPO/BAA weight=3.

     Near Ross D (24E, 11N) 1964 Mar 21 UT 05:00-06:20 Observed by 
     Harris, Crow, Cross (Whittier, CA, USA) - negative confirmation 
     from Las Cruces. NASA catalog weight=0 (unreliable). NASA catalog 
     ID #805. ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Oct-29 UT 04:53-05:28 Ill=45% Mons_Piton observed by Horne_P on 1983-3-21

     On 1983 Mar 21 at UT 21:05-22:00 P. Horne and J. Horne (Hertz, England, 
     UK, 11" reflector, x180 and x330) found that Mons Piton (totally 
     illuminated and brightest feature on the Moon - but no variability) was 
     brighter than Aristarchus (would have been if it had been in sunlight)
     and the mountain was contained within a circular illuminated patch. 
     "Brilliant white and no shadow. Size ~16km." There was no details 
     visible but the adjacent features had distinct shadows. Hutton was also 
     observing. Foley examined the photographs and believes that they are 
     inconclusive. D. Mansbridge was photographing the Moon at 19:30UT and 
     detects Piton but it is not bright. However in a photograph taken by D. 
     Mansbrdige and 20:30UT the mountain is much brighter than any other 
     sunward facing slopses on the northern part of the Moon's terminator. 
     R. Mosley had been observing earlier at 18:10-19:40 and although 
     finding the mountain to be shining briliantly beyond the terminator, he 
     also comments that this is normal. Cameron though has seen the 
     photographs taken and thinks it might be a real TLP. The Cameron 2006 
     catalog ID=208 and weight=5. The ALPO/BAA weight=2.


2025-Oct-29 UT 04:53-05:55 Ill=45% Censorinus observed by Cook_MC on 1988-11-16

     On 1988 Nov 16 at UT 18:20 M.C. Cook (Frimley, UK) observed that a ray 
     north east of censorinus appeared to be very diffuse and this did not 
     change during the observation. This was odd because proclus ray 
     material remained clear. The apron material of Censorinus was diffuse 
     E-W and the northern part was dull, but not fuzzy. The Cameron 2006 
     catalog ID=340 and the weight=3. The ALPO/BAA weight=2.


2025-Oct-29 UT 04:53-05:55 Ill=45% Torricelli_B observed by Cook_MC on 1988-11-16

     On 1988 Nov 16 at UT 18:20 M.C. Cook (Frimley, UK) observed that 
     Torricelli B changed in brightness (at times), but thinks that this was 
     due to atmospheric transparency. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=340 and 
     the weight=3. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Oct-29 UT 04:56-06:53 Ill=45% Torricelli_B observed by Mobberley_M on 1984-4-8

     On 1984 Apr 08 UT 19:50 Mobberley (14" reflector, x194, seeing 
     III-IV, Transparency Fair-Poor, Cockfield, UK) found that 
     Torricelli B's shadow was 1/2 the way across the floor, which 
     was normal, but that there was a very dar grey/brown shroud 
     around the carter, out to several radii. 
     The ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Oct-29 UT 05:44-07:19 Ill=45% Ptolemaeus observed by Sheperdson_P on 2020-2-1

     Ptolemaeus 2020 Feb 01 UT 19:40-19:50 P. Sheperdson (York, UK, 
     102mm Mak - BAA) saw an "ashen" sliver of bright light across 
     the floor. Images taken. This maybe normal appearance - though 
     observer re-observed in May and found the effect different in 
     that there was no "ashen" like effect. Visual sketches and 
     time lapse image sequences welcome. If doing visual work - try 
     using a polaroid filter and rotate it to see if that makes any 
     difference. For imaging work, please over-expose slightly to 
     bring out detail on the floor; you could also try colour 
     imaging of the floor as an interesting experiment - though for 
     comparison purposes image other terminator features exhibiting 
     shadow spires. ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Oct-29 UT 05:56-07:40 Ill=45% SE_Limb observed by Rohslberger_R on 1980-4-22

     On 1980 Apr 22 at UT20:30 R.Rohslberger (Hittfield, (near Hamburg) West 
     Germany, 8" reflector, x170 25mm occular used, 300mm focal length?) 
     took some photographs using projection. One of these recorded an 
     apparent "ejecta curtain". Cameron considered lens flare, but the other 
     photographs did not show this. If real then the plume was at a height 
     of ~40km and the ray was ~130km. Cameron concludes that this was an 
     impact photograph. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=90 and the weight=5. The 
     ALPO/BAA weight=3.


2025-Oct-29 UT 06:18-07:50 Ill=46% Alphonsus observed by Lenham_AP on 1952-11-24

     Alphonsus 1952 Nov 24 UT 18:00 A.P. Lenham (Swindon, UK, 3-
     inch efractor x120) noted that the usual dark spots were not 
     visible, but floor ridges and craterlets were surperbly seen. 
     This may not be a TLP but has been given a TLP category as it 
     is a curious appearance and needs to be verified on a repeat 
     repeat illumination apeparance. ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Oct-29 UT 06:47-07:43 Ill=46% Mons_Piton observed by Marshall_KP on 1983-5-20

     On 1983 May 20 at UT00:00-03:00 K. Marshall (Medellin, Columbia) 
     noted that Mons Piton was too bright near the terminator and was 
     surrounded by shadow. A sketch was made. The mountain appeared 
     segmented with one thin shadow line. The mountain looked like a 
     Mexican Sombrero hat. This appearance is normal. What was 
     abnormal was that Piton was brighter than Proclus, and only 
     slightly fainter than Censorinus. The CED brightness 
     measurements were normal Piton=3.6, Proclus=3.5 and Censorinus=
     3.7. Please check to see whether this is still the case. The 
     cameron 2006 catalog ID=221 and the weight=3. The ALPO/BAA 
     weight=1.


2025-Oct-29 UT 06:49-08:25 Ill=46% Manilius observed by Newport on 1965-12-30

     Dome W. of Manillius 1965 Dec 30 UT 10:35 Observed by Newport (England, 
     4" refractor x180) "White patch or haze, everything else was sharp" 
     NASA catalog weight=3 (average).


2025-Oct-29 UT 07:08-08:28 Ill=46% W_Limb observed by Miles_H on 1987-1-7

     On 1987 Jan 07 at UT19:10-20:30 H.Miles of Cornwall, UK saw two bright 
     patches were seen in Earthshine at clock positions of 4 (this patch was 
     defined by the dark limb and the brightness faded inwards to the disk, 
     over a short distance. "Centred at 60 deg along the limb from the north 
     - a sketch showed approximately 10-15 deg along it") and 5:30 (this 
     second patch was smaller and not so bright as the first patch - it was 
     west of the north pole. P. Foley (Kent, UK) also detcted the patches 
     and said that one was not far from the sunrise terminator. 
     The Cameron 2006 Extension catalog gives this TLP an ID of 291 and a 
     weight of 2. The ALPO/BAA weight=2.


2025-Oct-29 UT 08:00-10:25 Ill=46% Werner observed by Lippert_RM on 1953-9-16 *

     On 1953 Sep 16 UT03:00 R.M. Lippert (San Diego, CA, USA, 20cm 
     Cassegrain reflector, x90)saw a bright magnitude 1 flash on the 
     Moon, that was probably on the east rim of Werner(?) crater. It 
     is unclear if the observer meant it was really magnitude 1, or 
     was what a magnitude 1 star would have looked like. The flash 
     was yellow-orange in colour. Observation described in the 
     "Observations and Comments" column in the December, 1953 
     Strolling Astronomer (Vol. 7, No. 12), on page 170. The ALPO/BAA 
     weight=3.


2025-Oct-29 UT 05:18-09:14 Ill=46% Earthshine: sporadic meteors

2025-Oct-30 UT 04:53-05:18 Ill=56% Plato observed by Schroter on 1789-7-30

     Plato 1789 Jul 30 UTC 21:00? Observed by Schroter (Lilienthal, Germany) 
     NASA Catalog Event #61, NASA Weight=2 (slightly low) Event described 
     as: "Soon after sunrise saw a kind of fermentation on the floor which 
     clearly resembled a kind of twilight, (due to some kind of aberration 
     unknown to the observer?)" For further details see reference: 
     Middlehurst, B.M., Burley, J.M., Moore, P.A. and Welther, B.L., 1968, 
     NASA TR R-277.


2025-Oct-30 UT 04:53-06:21 Ill=56% Eratosthenes observed by Lenham_AP on 1952-11-25

     Eratosthenes 1952 Nov 25 UT 16:30 A.P. Lenham (Swindon, UK, 3-
     inch refractor x150, Definition Good) noted that there was 
     faint/slightly bright detail inside the interior shadow - 
     observer comments "presumably peaks of central mountains & W. 
     Wall ridge, but very faint" - however this is worth checking 
     out. ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Oct-30 UT 05:15-07:13 Ill=56% Eratosthenes observed by Abel_P on 2009-11-25

     On 2009 Nov 25 UT18:42-21:03 P.Abel, T.Little and C.North (Selsey, UK, 
     15" reflector, seeing II-III, transparency very good), all saw visually 
     a brownish tinge on the north west rim of Eratosthenes crater. P.Abel 
     made a sketch and T.Little took some high resolution CCD images, some 
     of which were through coloured filters. Checks were made for spurious 
     colour, but none was seen elsewhere on the Moon. The eyepiece was 
     changed but this made no difference. M.C.Cook (Mundesley) was observing 
     with a smaller scope at the same time, but saw no colour, however 
     observing conditions were worse. W.Leatherbarrow (Sheffield, UK) was 
     observing with a instrumenet mid way in size, and saw a brownish tinge 
     in the NW rim area, but saw a similar colour elsewhere and put this 
     down to spurious colour. Normally multiple observers seeing the same 
     thing would result in a weight of 4, however as this was only observers 
     at Selsey and some of the evidence contradicts, I am allocating an 
     ALPO/BAA weight=3.


2025-Oct-30 UT 05:52-07:38 Ill=56% Pallas observed by Stuart_L on 1953-11-15

     Pallas-Schroter 1953 Nov 13 UTC 02:00 Observed by L.Stuart (USA) 
     "Saw and photographed a bright spot on term. between these two 
     craters. Used Kodak 103aF3." NASA catalog weight=5 and catalog 
     ID #559. ALPO/BAA weight=5.


2025-Oct-30 UT 06:07-07:32 Ill=56% Eratosthenes observed by Galdies_C on 2012-8-25

     On 2012 Aug 25 UT1944-1952 Eratosthenes crater was imaged by C. 
     Galdies (Malta,Nexstar 8SE, Philips SPC 900NC camera). 4 
     Registaxed images were produced covering 19:45, 19:48, 19:49, 
     and 19:51. All but the first image, once first order spurious 
     colour had been removed, showed orange on the shaded terraces on 
     the western illuminated rim (similar to what Paul Abel and 
     others saw in 2009, albeit just confined to the NW rim), and the 
     interior floor shadow was slightly smaller in red light. However 
     orange colour was also seen on the eastern side of mountains to 
     the south of the crater, which infers that the spurios colour 
     removal did not fully acomplish its main goal. The effects were 
     not caused by the registax software as the orange colour is 
     visible on individual images. Although probably the colour is 
     not lunar in orgin, its explanation is not fully explaianed, 
     therfore an ALPO/BAA weight of 1 is used for now.


2025-Oct-30 UT 06:47-08:31 Ill=56% Aristarchus observed by Loocks on 1969-11-18

     On 1969 Nov 18 at UT 04:22 Loocks (Valparaiso, Chile, 12" reflector) 
     observed a flash of light of magnitude 12. Cameron speculates a meteor 
     and mentions the apollo 12 watch. The Cameron 1978 catalog ID=1214 and 
     weight=1. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Oct-30 UT 07:07-08:37 Ill=56% N_Pole observed by Harris on 1912-1-28

     North (?) (left) Cusp 1912 Jan 28 UT 00:00 (27th 20:00 L.T.) Observed 
     by Harris (Philadelphia? Pennsylvania?, naked eye?): Intensely black 
     curved object 400x240km, shaped like a "crow". Cameron 1978 weight=1 
     (very low) and ID=334. ALPO/BAA weight=1.


2025-Oct-30 UT 07:25-09:01 Ill=56% Eratosthenes observed by Longshaw_N on 2017-5-4

     Eratosthenes: On 2017 May 04 UT 21:50-22:10 N. Longshaw (BAA, 
     UK, 78mm APO refractor, x125 & x175, seeing II-III, 
     transparency Good). A brownish (orange) tint was seen on the 
     inner NW wall light terraces - this was immediately obvious 
     when first looking at the crater, but as time progressed the 
     effect became less bright. Other craters were checked for 
     similar coloured tints, but none were seen elsewhere on the 
     Moon. UAI observers in Italy (F. Taggogna & A. Tonon) had been 
     imaging the region in colour 17:57-21:47, but their images do 
     not show any colour on the inner NW rim terraces, the their 
     last image is 3 min before Longshaw saw the colour. The 
     ALPO/BAA weight=2.


2025-Oct-30 UT 07:32-09:24 Ill=56% Eratosthenes observed by Hill_H on 1947-1-30

     Eratosthenes 1947 Jan 30 Mean Col. 16deg. Observed by Hill (UK) "Main 
     peak of massive central mountain group appeared to be in a shadowless 
     having regard to it's claimed height of 6,600 ft. The whole of the 
     floor to the west should have still been in darkness. Instead 
     immediately to the west was a dark (intensity 1.5-2) region extending 
     almost to the foot of the bright inner wall and very diffuse in 
     outline. The observation could not be followed through due to 
     increasing cloud, but on the following night all was normal."


2025-Oct-30 UT 09:03-10:10 Ill=57% Aristarchus observed by Tempel on 1886-6-10

     On 1886 Jun 10 at UT 21:00 (estimated) Tempel of Germany, saw a star-

     On 1980 Apr 24 at 23:35UT Marco Petek (Porto Alegre, Brazil, 
     using a 7.5" refractor noticed that the center of Plato was 
     bright and opaque and the observer thought it was similar in 
     appearance to Linne. A sketch was made and two other observers 
     confirmed the appearance. Cameron mentions that Petek is an 
     experienced observer. Cameron 2006 catalog extension TLP ID=91

     25cm reflector, x250 & x380, seeing good but with some cloud)
     The interior W. wall of this crater (on the lip) appeared 
     hazy - difficulkt to bring detail into focus. Neighbouring 
     craters/detail were sharp. Details in the crater wall interior 
     were starting to become visible as time went on, but it had 
     clouded over by 11:30. A Moon Blink was used but no colour was 
     detected. ALPO/BAA weight=1.

     On 1985 mar 01 at 20:00UT? Moseley noticed a violet band (tapering to 
     an apex close to the crater centre and merged with the eastern 
     exterior) around Toricelli B, however M. Cook (Frimley, UK) had seen a 
     dusky band(England, UK) on an earlier photo. There was no terminator
