Easily find and observe lunar seas, craters and mountains
The moon is the only celestial body on which extraterrestrial landscapes can be seen with even modest binoculars or telescopes.
- Thirteen moon phase charts, which show the appearance of the moon at two-day intervals, indicate the location and observation conditions of the most important lunar features.
- A total of 58 lunar seas, craters and mountains are listed and described in detail in text and images.
The moonscout is designed as an "always-with-you tool" for moon enthusiasts. Beginners can easily learn their way around the moon, and amateur astronomers will find a compact and robust search aid for the most important lunar formations.
