Hi,

I was wondering if a fairly accurate means exist to measure lunar topography for a novice. I have searched the Internet but would like to hear from anyone that is actually doing so.

Thanks in advance,

I haven't tried this myself. However, the instructions on this website seem pretty straight forward. It does seem to involve some mathematics:

I am prepared for math only to deter math problems from coming my way. wink
