By Don Spain

Here is a lunar atlas designed in particular to be used within the box through lunar observers. Its name – The Six-inch Lunar Atlas – refers either to the aperture of the telescope used to make the photographs within the ebook, and likewise to the book’s actual dimension: so it’s ideal for becoming into an observer’s pocket!


The author’s personal lunar images have been enthusiastic about a 6-inch (150mm) telescope and CCD digicam, and heavily fit the visible visual appeal of the Moon whilst seen via a modest (3-inch to 8-inch) telescope. (Depending on seeing, of course.) each one photograph is proven orientated "as the Moon particularly is" whilst seen from the northern hemisphere, and is supplemented through beautiful laptop sketches that record the most good points. separate desktop sketches are supplied to compliment each one photo, one orientated to seem as obvious via an SCT telescope (e.g. the Meade and Celestron ranges), the opposite orientated for Newtonian and refracting telescopes. it's worthy commenting that the majority observers locate it tremendous tricky to spot lunar positive factors whilst utilizing a traditional atlas and SCT telescope – the human mind is particularly terrible at making "mirror-image" visible translations.


There is a web page of descriptions for the salient good points in every one photograph.
