  1. aFlashes are named after dates. A flash observed on Nov. 7, 2016 (UT) is named “161107”
  2. bThe times of detections. They are accurate to a second
  3. cSelenographic latitudes and east longitudes in degree. They are accurate to a degree except for the longitudes of Flashes 170204d and 170501
  4. dThe number of frames where each flash is recognized by visual inspection
  5. eThere may be a frame that shows the flash if the frame drops had not occurred. See text
  6. fThe exposure time for a frame and the electrical gain of the camera
