Perhap because light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
Binocular Moon Map....? was created by lionsden
Does anyone know where I can download a Map of the moon suitable for observing with binoculars? :
I've trawled through countless web-sites and can't find one! All the maps / charts seem to be too detailed, not detailed enough or just don't have any labels as to what anything is.
I want a map that I can print onto A3 and laminate so I can bring it out observing easily. I don't want to be lugging books around with me.
Any and all suggestions welcome!

Leo,
I haven't come across any such that are free.
However, S&T has just produced a laminated Rukl field moon map that comes in four individual parts 12in X 12in. Opened up it's 24 X 24in.
At ~$11 it's not free, but it's durable & looks the bis.

Hi Leo,
This one might do the job:
ralphaeschliman.com/luna/lnslamasm.jpg
or maybe this one would be better suited:
www.theskyplus.com/moon.html
although this isn't what your looking for, it's worth a look:
moon.google.com/
Cheers,
Keith

Hi Leo,
I use the "Lunar 100 Card" by Charles A. Wood. Its slightly over A4 size (9" X 12") and laminated. It depicts the whole Moon on one side with selonographic latitude & longitude, including all the main features by numbers. These numbers are on red spots with white numbers inside. They stand out well in dim lighting. The other side has the numbers and names all these features with positions, diameters, etc.
I find it handy for a quick look up.
Hope that helps

That's a pretty good basic lunar card to get people going Trevor. I've yet to properly study the moon. Think I'll start with that.
