<p>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 artifacts and the reconstruction processes involved in transmission from lunar orbit.</p><p><p>Using 21<sup>st</sup> century techniques, Charles Byrne – previously System Engineer of the Apollo Program for Lunar Orbiter Photography – has removed the artifacts and imperfections to produce the most comprehensive and beautifully detailed set of images of the lunar surface.</p><p><p>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 photograph. All features have been identified with their current IAU-approved names, and each photograph has been located in terms of latitude and longitude. To help practical astronomers, all the photographs are systematically related to an Earth-based view.</p>

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.</p><p> </p>
Spectacular close-up images of the Moon Reference map so astronomers can compare the images with what they can see Indentification of features with their IAU names Severe degrading effects of the original images have been removed, making features clearer Notes based on extensive review of the scientific literature and recent meetings
<p>In 1967, Lunar Orbiter Mission 4 sent back to Earth a superb series of photographs of the surface of the Moon. Using 21<sup>st</sup> century computer techniques, Charles Byrne – previously System Engineer of the Apollo Program for Lunar Orbiter Photography – has removed the scanning artifacts and transmission imperfections to produce a most comprehensive and beautifully detailed set of images of the lunar surface. To help practical astronomers, all the photographs are systematically related to an Earth-based view.</p><p><p>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. Every astronomer – amateur and professional – who is interested in the Moon will want this book in his library! </p><p><p>
