The floor of Fracastorius is significantly brighter in a red filter than in a blue filter. This is a BAA Lunar Section observation. ALPO/BAA weight=1.
On 1977 Jan 04 at 16:25-17:30 Kozyrev (Pulkovo Observatory, Crimea, Ukraine, Soview Union) "Observed unusual processes on moon. Activity in progress at beginning of obs. Still vis. at 1710, gone at 1730h. Latharn & colleagues found no seismic activity at that timeunder a quick look". The Cameron 1978 catalog weight=4 and ID=1460. The ALPO/BAA weight=2.
On 1983 Oct 20 at UT23:40 P. Moore (Selsey, UK) observed that Aristarchus was brighter than normal (as measured with a CED) and much more so that Censorinus, Menelaus, and Proclus craters (in turn). Cameron comments that Moore is a very experienced observer. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=231 and the weight=4. The ALPO/BAA weight=2.
On 1976 Feb 14 at UT23:35-0053 LeCroy (Springfield, VA, USA, 4.5" reflector, x75, S=6 and T=4.5). A blue haze was seen on the east side of Aristarchus and red haze on the west side. At 00:00UT details were more clear and at 00:24UT Aristarchus and Herodotus, were seperated. At 00:34UT colours were gone. At 00:35UT blue was on Aristarchus and the area was bright, but was black in a red filter. At 00:53UT the features were clear and the colour gone and the brightness had decreased to 9. Cameron comments that the colour was not due to temp. inversion because of being dark in the red filter, implying a medium). The Cameron 1978 catalog TLP ID is 1428 and the weight=1. This is an ALPO report. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.
On 1988 Jul 31 at UT 07:09-08:10 D. Darling (Sun Prairie, WI, USA, 12.5"reflector, seeing=7/10 and T=3) did not detect the dark region on the south east floor of Proclus (the TLP from a few days earlier), but did see 2 "linear mounds". The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=335 and the weight=0. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.
Plato 1971 Apr 13 UT 03:30-04:30 W. Cameron (Greenbelt, MD, USA, 36" reflector & 6" grating) "spectrum obtained showed an extra absorption line at 4908+/-4A & possibly another. No other of 6 spectra of other features on the plate show it. No other of 20 spectra of Plato, including another on the same nite show it. Further reduction & analysis remain to be done." NASA weight=5. NASA catalog ID=#1291. ALPO/BAA weight=5.
On 1993 Dec 31 at UT 05:00-07:40 S. Beaumont (Cambridge, UK, 12" reflector) "saw a patch of hazy light to NW (from c.p. alpha) at 0550 craters B & J shadow of alpha had not reached E wall yet, but at 0536 it did. Alpha > at 0550. Craters B & J to SE had faded, vanished at 0630. Hazy patch remained around peak, alpha low mainly to NE like a comet's tail. Slightly reddish fringe to E wall. (shown in sketch)". The above has been quoted in full from the Cmeron catalog because the catalog desription is slightly ambiguous and any attempted summary might make the description more unreliable. The cameron 2006 catalog ID=470 and the weight=3. The ALPO/BAA weight=2.
On 1992 Feb 21 at 03:00-03:55UT C. Brook (Plymouth, UK, 3" refractor x116, seeing II) found that Janssen K was very bright. Cameron 2006 catalog extension ID=441 and weight=2. ALPO/BAA weight=1.

Aristarchus 1978 Nov 19 UT 22:40-23:05 Observed by Pedler (UK, 12.5" reflector, x200, seeing fair) Blue colour seen and could not focus on this part, where as other craters were nice and sharp in this filter. Aristarchus darker in red light. all other craters were normal in red. Attempts to change the eyepiece did not make any difference to the blue colour. Cameron 2005 catalog ID=43 and weight=4. ALPO/BAA weight=3.
Triensecker Rille 1915 Jul 03 UTC 00:00? Observed by Markov (Russia) "Several spots changed their shapes compared with Gordeenko's depiction on 5/23/12 see #339; which cannot be explained by light variations." NASA catalog weight=3. NASA catalog ID #356.

On 1982 Aug 11 at UT03:30-04:15 Mobberley (Suffolk, UK) obtained a photograph and made a sketch that revealed a needle-like shadow from the west wall to near by the central craterlet - the latter was quite clearly visible. What were not visible were the other four craterlets. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=183 and weight=4. The ALPO/BAA weight=2.
On 1981 Sep 20 at UT 08:00-09:40 D. Darling (Sun Praire, WI, USA, 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" reflector) observed that Plato was consdierably brighter than Aristarchus by several times. The image quality was very clear. The Cameron 2006 catalog ID=161 and weight=3. The ALPO/BAA weight=2.
On 1891 Sep 25 at UT 20:00 Pickering, based at Arequipa, Peru, and using a 12" reflector, saw in Schroter's Valley and the vicinity "Varitions in vapor column. Time estimated from given colongitude)." Cameron 1978 catalog ID=273 and weight=1. ALPO/BAA weight=1.
On 1977 Nov 03 at 22:13UT P.W. Foley (Kent, UK, 11" reflector, x285)saw some flickering in Gassendi (Clouds on limb - according to Csmeron?). The Cameron 1978 catalog ID=18 and weight=1. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.
On 1971 Jun 16 at UT 07:08-07:09 Raimundo Nonato da Silva (Parnaiba, PI, Brazil, 9.5" reflector, x90, seeing=good) observed during a lunar eclipse that the Straight Wall surroundings were darker than an observation from two days earlier. At 07:09UT tonality became clearer. As dawn was in progress and atmospheric turbulence, not sure if it was a TLP? Other features were normal. The Cameron 1978 catalog ID=1297 and weight=1. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.
On 1979 Sep 15 at UT01:53 P.Madej (Newsome, Huddersfield, UK, 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 35 filter. P.W. Foley (Kent, UK), confirmed this but thinks that it is normal. Cameron 2006 catalog ID=68 and weight=1. ALPO/BAA weight=1.
Copernicus 1979 Sep 15 UT04:40-05:25 J.Saxton (Leeds, UK, 8.5" reflector, x185, seeing I-IV, worsening towards local sunrise) made a sketch and noted that the northern tip of the internal shadow, by the floor, was not completely dark. The edge of the floor here could be distingished, even though it was in shadow. ALPO/BAA weight=1.
On 1963 Nov 10/11 at UT 23:35-00:32 Kopal (Pic du Midi, France, 24" refractor) observed a TLP in Copernicus. Cameron says that the date maybe a misprint, should be 11/1/63? - sunset terminator at 25W and Copernicus in dark. The Cameron 1978 catalog ID=782 and weight=0. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.
On 1963 Nov 10/11 at UT 23:35-00:32 Kopal (Pic du Midi, France, 24" refractor) observed a TLP in Kepler. Cameron says that the date maybe a misprint, should be 11/1/63? - sunset terminator at 25W and Copernicus in dark. The Cameron 1978 catalog ID=782 and weight=0. The ALPO/BAA weight=1.
Closest parts of the Moon at Saturn appearing from occultation were dull and hazy. Was this an effect of the lunar atmosphere or a high haze and halo around the Moon? Cameron's 2006 catalog extension gives this an ID No. of 3 and a weight of 1. The ALPO/BAA catalog weight is also 1.
Aristarchus 1973 May 27 UTC 01:09-01:56 Observed by Theiss (51N, 9.67E, 75mm reflector) "3 diameters of Aristarchus around its center: orange bright area from 01:09-01:56" Ref: Hilbrecht & Kuveler, Moon & Planets Vol 30 (1984) p53-61"
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.
