Our planet’s Moon is a very rewarding target for all amateur astronomers. The surface of Earth’s only natural satellite is a treasure-trove of interesting sights. Views of intriguing craters, craggy mountains, and vast ancient lava flows can be obtained easily in small telescopes and binoculars. This affordable Moon Map makes it easy to identify more than 300 features found on the Moon, so you can enjoy learning the names of your favorite crater, mountain range, or mare region. What’s more, this detailed map also points out the locations of the six NASA Apollo mission landing sites.

Using the Moon Map is easy. Simply find the reference number of the feature you wish to identify, and then look up its name using the map’s numerical index. Conversely, if you wish to locate a specific named feature with your telescope or binoculars, use the alphabetical index on the back of the map to find the feature’s reference number, then locate the number and feature on the map. For ease of use, the reference numbers are generally laid out lunar west to east (left to right), then increment north to south (top to bottom). The correct-image map is oriented to match the Moon as it appears to the unaided eye, or in binoculars from midnorthern latitudes. Turning the map may be required to match the view seen in your telescope.

Very impressed with laminated chart. Apollo landing sights and cross reference craters are very helpful. Would have rather had this chart than the cd astronomy disc that doesn't work for me. The thing I didn't find at Orion was the mirror image Moon Map. I'll find one soon but looking at the moon through telescope has been a challenge to figure out what I'm looking at. For binocular viewers no problem of course.
Favorite viewing location:??Our non-light polluted country backyard.
Favorite object to observe:??Saturn, Jupiter, Orion nebula and Moon.
Yes, I recommend this product!

For someone who's just starting out with a small scope, or even a good pair of binoculars, this map is better than even the deluxe Field Map Orion offers. First, this map has a more compact size which is easier to handle in the dark and lay out on tables than the Field Map, and it is more easily storable. Second, although it only offers about 300 lunar sites, this map contains all the targets required by the Astronomical League's Lunar Club. Also, despite its extremely economical price, it's laminated (which the Field Map is too). If Orion doesn't begin enticing new customers by including a moon filter with a new telescope purchase, then the company should at least include one of these maps, especially since it seems to cost so little. Beginners direct a new scope straight at the Moon, and Orion should take advantage of knowing that!
Favorite viewing location:??Backyard or driveway of home
Favorite object to observe:??Open Star Clusters
Pros: compact size, contains a.l. lunar club targets, laminated
Yes, I recommend this product!
