![]() ![]() I do use the Virtual Lunar Atlas on my laptop, for finding out the current terminator position which is very accurate and the ephemeris. I have just about all the atlases that others have listed and wouldn't do without any of them (plus some interesting long out of print books). I notice it's on Kindle, but believe me the Kindle version just won't do it justice, the book itself is well worth looking out for. There is a link below, and you can 'open' the book and take a look. These locations, each fascinating for their own particular reasons, sampled a wide range of lunar geology and terrain, from smooth mare plains to rugged ancient highlands. This is a lot less than most used copies, and I'd pay that if I didn't have a copy - and I had the money! I bought my copy at Astrofest when it first came out, there was a big stack of them on the Cambridge stand. Just checked on Amazon and the cheapest they have one listed used is £53. Long out of print it can be found second hand. Moon Atlas is an astronomy application that lets you use pinch and finger gestures to manipulate a 3D globe of the Moon. Great detailed photos and good useful text, Its not really a practical outdoor atlas but combined with Sky and Telescopes Moon Map or the Phillips Moon Map gives and you have a lot to play with. I recommend this highly if you can get hold of a copy. The Cambridge Photographic Moon Atlas is superb. It is a really superb book in the same format as the Cambridge books on Comets, Galaxies and the Messier Objects. The first book on Maniek's post - The Fotographisher Mondatlas of which there are two pictures was translated by Storm Dunlop from the German and was published as The Cambridge Photographic Moon Atlas in around 2012 - not sure of the date. ![]()
