Hello,
I am trying to find maps of the moon that have the least possible amount of shadows in them. The best I can find is the Clementine map but unfortunately, there are many data gaps in it. The LRO WAC and Kaguya maps on the USGS site have a lot of shadows on them. However, there is a map that combines Clementine and Lunar Orbiter data but the problem is, my computer cannot even render this monster!!! https://astrogeology.usgs.gov/search/map/Mo...saic_Global_59m If someone with a more powerful computer could please help me get a version of this image that is 16384x8192 pixels, that would be great! I don't have access to Map a Planet to be able to get it. -------------------- "Thats no moon... IT'S A TRAP!"

China has a whole moon image available from Chang'e-1 which might do the job? It's 4Gb, and you'll need to register:
http://moon.bao.ac.cn/index_en.jsp On the English version of the site, navigate to the lunar map, and look for the 'Download' link under 'base map' on the left hand side. China's images all seem to be at local noon, so there are no (or minimal) shadows. |
