The Photographic Atlas of the Moon by longtime ATT contributor Roger Reeves is a guide to our closest celestial companion written in a non-technical narrative that brings fresh insights from an astro imaging perspective.
It provides comprehensible, jargon-free language about the Moon, its orbit, its creation and the differing geologic details of the Moon, including those that can be seen with the naked eye. All the images in the highly illustrated book were taken by the Reeves offering image processing techniques and the use of modest equipment, to exceed the quality of Earth-based professional lunar photographs taken during the Apollo era.
Reeves has been exploring the cosmos since 1958 and took his first lunar photograph in 1959. In 1984 Reeves began publishing articles about astrophotography, and since then his articles have appeared in Astronomy Technology Today, Sky and Telescope, Astronomy, Deep Sky, Deep Sky Journal, Amateur Astronomy and The Astrograph. He is the author of six previous books about the Moon, space exploration and celestial photography, Reeves enjoys speaking about astronomy and spreading his passion for photographing the heavens. His recent activities include a five-city speaking tour in China.
The Photographic Atlas of the Moon will be released in September by Firefly Books and will be available from all of the major book outlets. You can learn more here.
