Intriguing craters, craggy mountains, and vast "seas" of ancient lava flows make for wonderful targets for backyard astronomers. The OrionMoonMap 260 makes it easy to identify and learn about the lunar landscape.

Each feature is cross-referenced in the MoonMap's tables with its official name, size, and a brief description. Both a correct-image and reversed, or "mirror image" map of the Moon are included so it can be used when observingthe Moon with unaided eyes, binoculars; or any reflector, refractor, or Cassegrain telescope. The map is conveniently laminated for use in almost any weather.
