The Moon: Notes and Records of the Lunar Section of the British Astronomical Association

Launched in July 2011, The Moon: Notes and Records of the BAA Lunar Section complements the emphasis of the Lunar Section Circulars on the rapid publication of current observations and is devoted to the dissemination of the more considered and detailed outcomes of members' observations and of the observing programmes carried out by the Section. An annual publication, The Moon: Notes and Records is similar to the old Lunar Section Section Memoirs and serves to report the proceedings of the Section as a whole. It contains more organised observational results and reports of work in progress.
