This version of Hatfield?s classic atlas solves the problem of mirror images, making identification of left-right reversed imaged lunar features both quick and easy. SCT and Maksutov telescopes ? which of course include the best-selling models from Meade and Celestron ? reverse the visual image left to right. Thus it is extremely difficult to identify lunar features at the eyepiece of one of the instruments using a conventional Moon atlas, as the human brain does not cope well when trying to compare the real thing with a map that is a mirror image of it. Now this issue has at last been solved.   In this atlas the Moon?s surface is shown at various sun angles, and inset keys show the effects of optical librations. Smaller non-mirrored reference images are also included to make it simple to compare the mirrored SCT plates and maps with those that appear in other atlases. This edition still uses the original photographs taken by Commander Henry Hatfield using his 12-inch reflector, but they have been digitally re-mastered to reveal significantly more lunar surface detail. The key maps, on which lunar features can be readily identified, have been reversed and updated but retain the style and clarity that made the original a standard bearer in the field.   A new chapter on modern lunar observing techniques has been added to show amateur astronomers just how many interesting lunar observing projects they can still participate in. Computer-generated sunrise and sunset visualizations of many interesting selected areas have been included, to encourage astronomers to study and learn about the topographic appearance of the lunar surface near the morning and evening terminators. This welcome second edition brings a trove of new resources while still retaining the comprehensive appeal of the original. 517 3 $aAmateur astronomer's photographic lunar atlas. 606 $aSCIENCE / Space Science / Astronomy$2bisacsh 606 $aJUVENILE NONFICTION / Science & Nature / Astronomy$2bisacsh 606 $aAstronomy$vObservations 606 $aAstronomy$vObservations 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aPlanetary science 606 $aLunar craters 606 $aTelescopes 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014 606 $aPopular Science in Astronomy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q11009 607 $aMoon$vRemote-sensing images 607 $aMoon$vPhotographs from space 607 $aMoon$vMaps 607 $aMoon$2fast 608 $aMaps.$2fast 608 $aRemote-sensing images.$2fast 608 $aAtlases.$2fast 615 7$aSCIENCE / Space Science / Astronomy 615 7$aJUVENILE NONFICTION / Science & Nature / Astronomy 615 0$aAstronomy 615 0$aAstronomy 615 0$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aPlanetary science. 615 0$aLunar craters. 615 0$aTelescopes. 615 14$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aPopular Science in Astronomy. 676 $a523.30223 700 $aCook$b Anthony Charles 701 $aHatfield$b H$g(Henry).$01428660 701 $aCook$b Jeremy$f1933-$0105847 702 $aCook$b Anthony Charles 702 $aCook$b Jeremy$f1933- 712 02$aBritish Astronomical Association. 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300394203321 996 $aThe Hatfield SCT Lunar Atlas$93565621 997 $aUNINA
