Lunar Orbiter Photographic Atlas of the Near Side of the Moon Hardcover - 2005
by Charles J. Byrne
First line
The atlas presents full coverage of the nearside of the Moon with a series of photos all taken from orbit by Lunar Orbiter 4, with a nearly vertical viewpoint and sunlight at approximately 20 degrees () from the horizontal.
From the rear cover
In 1967, Lunar Orbiter Mission 4 sent back to Earth a superb series of photographs of the surface of the Moon, despite severe degradation caused by scanning and the reconstruction processes involved in transmission from lunar orbit.
Using 21st century techniques, Charles Byrne - previously System Engineer of the Apollo Program for Lunar Orbiter Photography - has removed almost all the artifacts and imperfections to provide a comprehensive and beautifully detailed set of images of the lunar surface.
The book has been organized to make it easy for astronomers to use, enabling ground-based images and views to be compared with the Orbiter photographs. The photographs are striking for their consistent Sun angles (for uniform appearance). All features are identified with their current IAU-approved names, and each photograph is located in terms of latitude and longitude. To help practical astronomers, all the photographs are systematically related to an Earth-based view.
