Abstract
A selection of eleven original photographic plates from the 1894–1909 Paris Observatory collection of lunar photographs was used to acquire 1304 selenodetic measures of 77 lunar features by two investigators. The RMS residual of all measures on all plates for the two investigators was 24 microns and there was no correlation between feature diameters and their reproducibilities. Results are provided as direction cosines of all lunar features corrected for differential refraction.
