Both versions of this map are drawn by Antonin Rukl whose Atlas of the Moon in book form is currently the gold standard for readily available paper lunar atlases. While the scale is smaller here, the amount of detail will be sufficient for the vast majority of telescopic observers.
But what distinguishes these maps is how well they’re designed. Laminated, folding in quarters and just about the perfect size, it’s plain that Sky Publishing meant these to be practical and rugged.
Also, two very nice touches. The lunar surface features are repeated where the map folds so no details are lost “in the ditch”. And each map quadrant shows the libration zones.
This map is excellent.
I decided to buy this Mirror-Image field map because I have a Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope that also reverses viewed objects. I already had the true-image field map, but I had a lot of difficulty using it because I’m a novice of lunar topography. The reverse map made such a difference in my ability to see and identify landmarks. The map is laminated and folded, separating the moon into four quadrants. This makes it easy to handle and use without worrying about nighttime dew. I took it to an astonomy club star party, and showed several experienced amateurs. None had ever seen this particular map before. It got rave reviews from them too.
I am workinkg part time for Planetary of University of Santiago of Chile, and when is necessary watch the moon by telescope, I was received many children to make excursions over moon surface. Then I was used this map, to locate place where astronauts from Apollo 11, put their feet first time on the Moon. I give to children locate trought mirror scope, many moon features: Seas, Hills, craters, until arrive aproximately over site, where man from earth, arrive there. Is very funny to children and adults too.

1. What cause or causes would you most like to promote as a Changemaker and why? We must end the Cradle to Prison Pipeline crisis. Incarceration is becoming the new American apartheid. A Black boy born in 2001 has a 1 in 3 chance of going to prison in his lifetime; a Latino boy a 1 in 6 chance. Unless the poverty and racial disparities that undergird the prison pipeline are changed and our nation undergoes a major paradigm shift from over-reliance on punishment to prevention and early intervention, much of the hard-earned racial and social progress of the last half century will be jeopardized. The growing gap between rich and poor-now at the highest level ever recorded-must be closed and child and family poverty eliminated in the richest nation on earth. The most dangerous threat to American security is its failure to invest in and protect all its children-its seed corn for the future. 2. If you could ask 1 million people to all do one thing to advance causes that matter to you, what…

If your looking to do something on the side, I've been building websites for the last year and have found some awesome training programs over that time. When I started (I had no clue about building a website…much less how to market it) I bought a really good program (or information, however you want to look at it) from Stores Online that teaches how to set up a store if you do not know how to write html. It is great info if you study and apply it (I have) and will surely get you in the know about internet marketing and what not, but it is really expensive. I paid $6000 for 6 site. I have 3 built in one year. Anyway, there is an AWESOME new course that teaches you everything Stores Online teaches, and more. But it is priced at only $500 which is very feasible if you are looking to start your own. The course is called Niche Blueprint (just google it). Good Luck!

Excuse me (and I usually don’t use this type of language – at least blatantly – on the interwebs). But WHY IS THIS SUCH A FUCKING SURPRISE?????
Well, I it just my personal quirk. Every time I hear “swedish are so marvelous” i rise my eyebrows an say “or ly?”. Cauz I have comparison. And I’m not the only one-peaople who saw more than just a couple of states will agree. Swedish are seriosuly overrated taths all. Besides-you want to see true swedish genes? Go sowhere between borders of Ukraine, Belarus and Poland. Genetists say there are the best nordic genes, left by vikings hundreds of years ago. Not in Sweden.

The apparent size of the moon in a photograph depends on the focal length at which the photograph was shot. A more zoomed-in shot will make the moon appear larger relative to objects in the foreground.
The moon's apparent size changes somewhat over the course of its orbit, as its distance from Earth changes slightly. But, the difference in apparent size is only a few arc minutes which is not terribly significant. It should appear roughly the same size to anyone on the world at any given time (assuming it's above the horizon of course).

Yes can simply dig a pond and hold water, even if you do not have a clay bottom. Simply apply a product called bentonite to the pond and it will seal the entire bottom. Reclamation jobs use it all for the time in contructing wildlife ponds.
Iterate the second array from back to front, and compare the values.

Please read my e-mail reply. Hope it helps. If you did not get it or if it is still insufficient, please email me and I will attempt to answer your questions.
Please remember that the finder has to be attached to the scope, and it needs to run on its own batteries. You may have passed this point; I'm not sure what condition your finder or scope is in.
