Moon Atlas

[Astro Imp]

Can some of you lunar observers recommend a not too expensive Lunar Atlas/Guide. I'm looking for a proper hard copy to take to the scope not a computer generated atlas, I already access Virtual Moon Atlas.

Thanks.

I have been using Henry Hatfield lunar atlas since the late 1960s. It was recently re-mastered by Dr Tony Cook. Here is a link - http://www.springer.com/astronomy/astronomy,+observations+and+techniques/book/978-1-4614-5498-4

Go to the bottom of the page where it states Maps and Plates and this will give you a better idea of what it is like.

Thanks guys, will have a look at the suggestions.

Virtual moon atlas is excellent albeit on PC. Loads of information and best of all it's free to download. Secondly try the Moon A Personal View by Charles Wood. It ties the views through the telescope to the latest lunar science helping to understand what you're observing. He also runs the excellent Lunar Photo of the Day (LPOD).

Wood and Collins 21st century atlas of the moon is pretty good... Generated from LRO data so the whole disk looks like it was taken at a favourable illumination. Rukl is still the best, but hard to use as the maps are so small.... The S&T ones mentioned are the best for your buck by far.

Take a look at the Lunar Field Atlas by Fred Dase:    http://www.astronomylogs.com/pages/moon.html

You can download it free as a PDF and print the whole thing or just the pages for the area of the Moon you want to study.

Thanks Moonnut, I've just downloaded that and am at this moment planning my night's observation, provided the clouds keep away.

Cool, I hope you have a good session.

Are you doing the Lunar 100?
