I also have the "New Atlas of the Moon"' by Legault/Brunier and find it to be really helpful.

The SKy&Telescope Field Map of the Moon are very good too, fine for the small-scope crowd. As it covers all the moon you don't get the 'edge of map' problem you do with Rukl. Get Rukl anyhow... you never know when it'll go out of print again!

Last any of us heard, Rukl's is currently out of print.

Doesn't bother me a bit... I got mine a few years ago.

It does seem a shame though, to let it go out of print again so soon.

I would offer a "second" on the "New Atlas of the Moon", Legault and Brunier. There is another thread here somewhere discussing the book being available from "Half Price Bookstores" for $19.98 (Normal price $55.00).

I ran out and found it and am using it now doing a 14 day Lunar Study for a project. Excellant material.

There is also a review here on CN for this book. Worth reading.
