This describes a number of lunar features accompanied by some amazing illustrations - cameras weren't good enough to take close ups of the Moon in 1874, so what they did was to make plaster models based on drawings and photograph those instead! -------------------- "This is no world for men," he said.

Nasmyth and Carpenter are two of the authors that define the Late Golden Age for me. I'd love to see your copy first-hand one day. Excellent job with the site as well. I'll ask Watson to add this link to the lunar list. -------------------- Intes MK-66 Deluxe (6" f/12 Maksutov) Celestron C-102HD (4" f/10 achromat) Celestron C-102AZ (4" f/5 achromat) Orion 6LT (6" f/8 classic Newtonian) Orion Apex 90 (90mm Mak spotter/grab-n-go/little fun scope) Post Extras:       Dan Luna professor emeritus Reged: 07/07/04 Posts: 696 Loc: UK Re: Nasmyth & Carpenter Moon book 1874 [Re: Tim2723]       #255304 - 11/18/04 04:41 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Glad you enjoyed the chapter - old stuff like this needs to go on the Web before it's lost for ever. Actually it's Hami's web site, I'm just trying to keep the people on there interested. -------------------- "This is no world for men," he said. "And yet in a way - it appeals."
