Scientific paper

The authors in continuing research on Lunar Transient Phenomena (LTP), have encountered many intriguing and interesting things during their investigations of the Moon. This paper describes a set of four observing runs made on the mornings of December 10, 1990, September 2, 1991, August 21, 1992, and July 12, 1993 (all local time), when anomalous events were observed, apparently involving the central peak of the crater Tycho. All four events occurred shortly prior to sunset on the crater at colongitudes near 185 deg. The August 21, 1991 event was photographed by Darling with a 27.9-cm (11-in.) f/10 Schmidt-Casseg-rain and a Minolta SRT 101 camera. It was videotaped with the same video camera and 40.6-cm telescope. On the same date, Gilbert C. Lubcke, a member of the Madison Astronomical Society, was able to obtain 52 images with his C11 and a Santa Barbara Instrument Group ST6 CCD camera. These telescopes are located at the Yanna Research Station of the Madison Astronomical Society, Inc. 9 km (5.5 mi) southwest of Brooklyn, Wisconsin. Lubcke's observing site was in Middleton, Wisconsin, just west of Madison.
