Description
As the full title explains, this is the first of four supplements to the [/LPL LPL]'s original [/Photographic%20Lunar%20Atlas Photographic Lunar Atlas].
Additional Information
- This work consists of the best photos for each of the 44 fields in the earlier atlas overprinted with the rectangular [/xi-eta xi-eta] grid (adjusted to the correct [/librations librations] for the photo) at a spacing of 0.01 lunar radius, and in the "Air Force" edition with colored lines of latitude and longitude at intervals of 2°. The work was primarily preformed by the LPL, but the [/DMA ACIC] assisted in computing the grids.
