ChrisThePuma Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Well the more detailed the better - and i would prefer a book/atlas than an actual map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glowjet Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I am afraid the Kaguya Moon Atlas is not an atlas but a collection of highly detailed pictures taken by the Japanese orbiter, they are excellent, those that have been published, but I was a bit disappointed it did not include the famous Clavius. For the best in Lunar Atlases you need a copy of the one by Antonin Rukl, sadly out of print but s/h copies are available,at a price. However Hamilyn produced a small pocket book. Moon Mars and Venus written by Antonin Rukl and his Moon map is reproduced in this rather splendid little book, again out of print but s/h copies can be found John.

michaelmorris Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 For the best in Lunar Atlases you need a copy of the one by Anton Rukl, The last edition of this superb lunar atlas printed was published by Sky and Telescope's publishing arm (now pretty much defunct). Secondhand copies often go for silly money, although I notice there is a copy on amazon going for only £14 plus postage - bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshane Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 this is the best one I have seen, supremely detailed and cheap plus details of Mars and Venus too.http://www.amazon.co.uk/Moon-Venus-Concise-Guides-Colour/dp/0600362191/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1349117866&sr=1-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarSide Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I can safety say that the virtual moon atlas is great too, if you have a laptop etc! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billhinge Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Forgot to post earliernew book, very pretty photos from normal telescopes, useful info on observing and science but its one that you wouldn't want to ruin by taking outdoorsI like the bit about resolving power of different telescopes and the appropriate testshttp://www.amazon.co.uk/Cambridge-Photographic-Moon-Atlas/dp/1107019737/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1356898547&sr=1-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
