Scientific paper
Three photographs of the moon taken by the Zond 8 spacecraft were analyzed in order to refine the position of 78 craters on the western half of the visible lunar hemisphere with respect to direction to earth and absolute elevation. The 78 craters formed a selenodesic system, the position of the points being taken as given by catalog data from earth observations. Transition from catalog coordinates to photo coordinates was accomplished in several stages, including transition to the standard U, V, W coordinate system and consideration of the conical effect. Corrections for some of the craters were rather large and matched well in all three photographs.
