But no farside coverage? The Lunar Orbiters took loads of pics of the farside as well as more recent and better photo images by far more advanced spacecraft.. Will still buy this book. And this puts the topic on track again. Ed Turco The best M-Object in the Universe is M00n!

I'm curious to know from those who have it how the Charles Wood's Lunar 100 is treated in this? Is there a separate index/appendix for the Lunar 100 or are there plenty of references for the 100 list? I've just started to observe the L100 after many years of treating the moon as something to avoid and am looking forward to start some serious observing/imaging of this beautiful object.

But, there's no L100 list (gotta buy that separate!)

It is a very nice atlas, and I am already thinking about ordering a second one for outdoor use at the eyepiece.

I am using a library copy of Rukl's, but the ~5x7" sections are kinda small for my beginning in-feild use. I realize the 21st Century atlas divides the moon into 25 sections, whereas my Rukl presents 76 parts, necessitating less magnified detail in the 21st. But how big are the map sections on page in your 21st? Bigger than ~5x7"? The pages as I understand are 8.5x11" - how much is used for map? Also, same question for the Cambridge atlas, if someone has a second... Thanks Post Extras:       Rick Woods Postmaster Reged: 01/27/05 Loc: Inner Solar System Re: 21st Century Atlas of the Moon [Re: refasali]       #5671759 - 02/10/13 02:57 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   The 21st Century charts are 6.5" x 8"; but the scale is smaller than the Rukl atlas. If you're a beginner, the best thing you could do is to get the S&T/Rukl field map, which has four foldable quadrants. That is bar-none the best value in a lunar map today, and the one I would keep over all others if I had to choose.

But I'd also like a text. Thanks Rick- I'll add that I'm midway through the Astronomical League's Lunar I & II programs. Doing'em simultaneously and hoping to find a detailed atlas to use outside. I've been using Rukls, but the sections have been cut a bit small for me at this time in my observing. I'm looking into the Cambridge atlas and it seems a good fit between the 21st and Rukl. Not as many sections as Rukl but more than the 21st.. Any thoughts? Post Extras:       Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | (show all)
