Or something older? How is the scale, compared to something like the Rukl atlas? Is there token coverage of the farside? Are the charts rectified (no foreshortening)? Is there a lot of discussion on the origins of various features, or is it primarily an observer's atlas? Chuck Wood has a way of mingling all of it together - did he go one way or the other on this?

Or something older? Primarily based on LRO. Very nice, highly detailed images and explanations of Lunar geography. Quote: How is the scale, compared to something like the Rukl atlas? Is there token coverage of the farside? The dark side was shown in four quadrant maps. The scale is good, but my frame of reference is Legault's New Atlas of the Moon. Quote: Are the charts rectified (no foreshortening)? Is there a lot of discussion on the origins of various features, or is it primarily an observer's atlas? Chuck Wood has a way of mingling all of it together - did he go one way or the other on this? Yes, Chuck had a lot to say about the origins of Lunar geography. I would have responded sooner, but I was enjoying reading the descriptions of the different types of craters, rilles and mountains. Very interesting stuff!!!!

It's very well worth the price and I love the way its organized to follow the phase illumination with chart highlights described clearly and to the point.

Postage indicated that it was shipped on January 7th, so can't complain given that I'm in Canada. Besides being a lovely piece of work, the spiral bound atlas is really well put together. Our postal person stuffed it rather poorly in our mail box and I was sure the atlas would be bent and creased. Luckily no damage, and it bounced back perfectly. Best, Ed L.

He made a boo boo with my shipment and discovered it after my email. He joked that it seems easier to write a book than to ship it out in a timely manner.

It's different, although both are high quality. So far I think the "21st Century Atlas of the Moon" more realistically captures the view through a high quality scope than pretty well any other atlas I've owned. It's also more suitable to have at the eyepiece (spiral bound, smaller), although Cambridge covers more lunar features in greater detail. Personally I think the two books compliment each other to quite a large degree. Best, Ed L. Post Extras:       Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | (show all)
