Description

The MoonMap 260 is a meticulously detailed lunar reference chart designed for backyard astronomers who want to explore the Moon in depth. This high-quality, laminated Moon map identifies more than 260 lunar surface features, including craters, mountain ranges, valleys, rilles, ancient lava flows, and the historic landing sites of both U.S. and Soviet lunar missions. Because the Moon is one of the closest and most visually detailed objects in the night sky, having a reliable guide greatly enhances the observing experience.

The MoonMap 260 includes both a correct-image map and a reversed mirror-image version, making it compatible with unaided-eye viewing, binoculars, and all telescope types—reflectors, refractors, and Cassegrains alike. Each identified feature is cross-referenced with its official name, size, and a brief description, allowing users to learn while observing.

Conveniently laminated for durability, the map can be used in a wide range of outdoor observing conditions. Lightweight and easy to handle, the Orion MoonMap 260 is an essential learning tool for beginners and a valuable reference for experienced lunar observers looking to make every moonlit session more informative and enjoyable.

  • Each landmark is numbered on the map and listed with its official name, approximate size, and brief description for easy lookup

  • A valuable tool for planning and identifying features during lunar observation with telescopes, binoculars, or the naked eye
  • Two viewing perspectives:
    1. Correct-image side matches what is seen through binoculars or a telescope with erecting optics.
    2. Reversed (mirror) image side matches the view through many telescopes that flip the view, so you can orient the map with what you see in the eyepiece.
