Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:
“The Hatfield Lunar Atlas is a classic atlas … . you can also get some more ideas as to what one might do when observing the Moon and how can amateur astronomers contribute to Lunar Science. … The line-drawn maps are clear and helpful, as well as photographs of the same areas of the Moon at different phases. … you can use the atlas to find an interesting area of the Moon to photograph, or observe or look at different features like rilles and domes.” (Kadri Tinn, AstroMadness.com, February, 2014)
