This lunar atlas is very useful when observing with a telescope as it puts the moon into the same perspective as the telescope. The lunar atlas, written by Rukl, the hands down foremost authority on selenography, lists all of the major features on the surface of the moon in a way that is easily discernable. The atlas is laminated which makes it ideal for use in the evenings, when dew may form, ruining other atlases. I recommend this atlas for both the amateur astronomer and the professional who needs a quick reference. Francis J. O'Reilly

This is an excellent map, but make sure that your telescope optics give a mirror image. If you have a scope that simply inverts the image, this is not the map. I wish they would publish an inverting one; the need is there. The seams are generous, and wide enough to allow the map panels to fold back flat. You can expose any quadrant you want without any strain on the map. It seems hardy enough to stand up to dampness and many a night behind a telescope.

If lacking a reverse image map of the moon is the one thing causing that great emptiness in your life then you are in luck. This map is the cure.
