Sub-sections

Observational sub-sections
The BAA Lunar Section incorporates four observationally active sub-sections, each having its own specialist coordinator. These sub-sections cover:

Occultations — timing the disappearance and reappearance of celestial objects at the lunar limb.

Transient Lunar Phenomena (TLP) — observing temporary phenomena such as glows, flashes and obscurations at or near the lunar surface.

Topography — visually observing the Moon's surface and recording it by means of notes and observational drwaings.
 
Photography — imaging the Moon and associated phenomena.

Research sub-sections
In addition to the observational sub-sections above, research into the Moon is conducted by the following sub-sections:

Computing — Calculating a wide range of lunar phenomena.

Geology — Understanding the forces that have sculpted the Moon.

Historical — Researching Moon-related material of the past.

Section archives — A respository for Lunar Section publications.
