A guide to using the ever-popular LTVT (Lunar Terminator Visualization Tool): capable of producing actual shadows and lighting conditions of personal user photos of the Moon; construction of digital elevation models (DEMs); and use of several high-res modern global maps of the Moon (including reference to Rükl grids). Prediction of librations for any year (past, present or future) is also presentable in libration plots, as well as measurements and labelling of features set to any telescopic view. Every function of LTVT is covered in over 400 detailed images -- from limb views to elevation contours to geometry of the lunar surface...and more; allowing the user to take full advantage of viewing our Moon today. Several main links are provided to all the maps and DEMs options, as well as the author's own personal link where the LTVT software (fully working, with maps and feature details etc., at no additional cost) can be downloaded for free.

"The 21st Century Atlas of the Moon is uniquely designed for the backyard, amateur astronomer. As an indispensable guide to telescopic moon observation, it can be used at the telescope or as a desk reference. It is both accessible to the novice and valuable to the expert. With over two hundred Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter images, the highest quality images of the moon ever taken, this atlas illustrates the Moon in high resolution. With special maps of the limb and far side, LRO altimetry-based images of major basins and their mare ridge, and maps of the Apollo and Soviet landing sites, this guide offers a level of detail never before seen in an atlas of the Moon. The Atlas clearly provides unprecedented detail on more than one thousand named Moon features while recommending additional features and images to observe." -- Publisher's website.
