Scientific paper

We report a probable transient lunar meteor event observed during careful video recording of the unlit portion of the moon during the Leonid shower activity on 18th November 2001. A video CCD was attached to the 1.2m Gurushikhar telescope with a tele-compressor for observing an unlit portion of the moon with a field of view of 3.95 x 2.75. Absolute time accuracy of 1 sec was maintained. Subsequent study of the video tape vielded five candidate events one of which has been independently observed. Details of the experiment, results and prospects of co-ordinated observations are discussed.
