No, this isn't a substitute for either an atlas nor a geologic guide like Wood's book it's simply a basic observer's guidebook to the Moon and it's features. There are 788 feature entries(craters, rilles etc), and all are indexed to the various photo maps within the body of the book identification of minor craters, (lettered) isn't attempted. Tim, yes that trio would cover pretty much all the bases I agree.Īs to this books coverage, it's not set up on an equal area/equal treatment basis like an atlas type work, but it does cover the entire near side. I promise it will be the best ten bux you'll have ever spent on the Moon.

There are 32 map sections, each of which has a full moon globe reference photo indicating the area the map covers and then several feature labelled photos of decreasing fields of the significant features themselves. Many of the faults of other guides-lack of proper index maps at sufficient scale for the smaller scale maps, poorly organized, poor photography, serious innacuracies, radical opinions, etc, are all happily absent in this book. Lunar geology is by no means ignored, in fact there is quite a bit of geological information in it's pages, however, it simply takes an appropriate back seat to observational information. Chu doesn't get in over his head and does not try to duplicate the more in-depth geological explanations that you find in Wood's book (for example), but instead concentrates on describing the physical features themselves, acccompanied by quite excellent photography on the +-2km resolution scale.perfect for help in at-the-eyepiece identification of features. The information packed in this book is prodigious and well chosen with the amateur in mind. I have read every well-known guide to the moon and own what are considered to be the best of them and I have to say Chu's "Photographic Moon Book" is the best one of any of them as a general book concerning the features of the Moon as seen from a small telescope. Take a look at this book and such enthusiasm is no suprise. I was so impressed by this (incredibly, free) expanded work that I printed and bound a copy for my personal use.today I found out that Chuck Wood did the same thing with the earlier, shorter (95pgs) came out (LPOD 'An Amateur's Moon'). The following table shows 10 locations with Sun near zenith position in the sky.The new version (ver.2.1 184 pages over 350 photos, tables and illustrations) is now available here.
