Subject: Consolidated Lunar Atlas
Sender: "Bigwood, David" <[log in to unmask]>



The Lunar and Planetary Institute has made available online the Consolidated
Lunar Atlas by Gerald P. Kuiper, Ewen A. Whitaker, Robert G. Strom, John W.
Fountain, and Stephen M. Larson at:
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/research/cla/menu.html or http://purl.org/NET/CLA

This atlas is a collection of very high quality, loose-leaf photographic
prints of all of the best images taken from Earth-based
telescopes. As it was made up of photographs, and not printed, this atlas
was reproduced in limited quantities and distributed to members of the space
community to support the upcoming Apollo missions to the Moon. Few intact
copies of the CLA have survived; it has become one of the scarcest of all
lunar publications, with used copies found in some rare-book shops going for
thousands of dollars.

Comments and feedback welcomed.

Sincerely,
David Bigwood
