In 1960 a selection of the best available lunar photography was published in the Photographic Lunar Atlas (Kuiper, Arthur, Moore, Tapscott, Whitaker, Univ. of Chicago Press, 1960). The reproductions were halftones. In spite of the care and supervision given this publication, some detail, especially of a photometric nature, was lost although the resolution was not appreciably impaired. Since 1960 several lunar programs have endeavored to obtain improved photographic coverage. The present Consolidated Lunar Atlas combines Supplements Nos. 3 and 4, thus completing the series announced in the 1960 Atlas. Special emphasis is placed here on types of information where current earth-based photography still excels: (a) low-oblique photography, which brings out low domes, lava beds, and other structures of considerable horizontal dimension, but of low vertical relief; and (b) full-moon photography, which presents photometric information totally unavailable from even high-resolution records taken with 20 degrees or 30 degrees sun angles.
