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!"

What about http://wms.lroc.asu.edu/lroc/view_rdr/WAC_EMP ? Cool map but it doesn't go pole to pole. I need a cylindrical map. Though if you could find a cylindrical version that would be amazing! I'm trying to navigate to the Chang'e map but I can't find what you are referring to Threadworm. -------------------- "Thats no moon... IT'S A TRAP!"

Cool map but it doesn't go pole to pole. You're going to have a hard time finding a shadowless map of the polar regions. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only. Any opinions are my own.

Yeah, Like Mercury, the moon doesn't like exposing it's ends to the sun.
I like the Clementine map primarily because it mostly has images at high noon and thus doesn't have so many shadows interfering with the coverage to where only at the poles do shadows from craters affect it. -------------------- "Thats no moon... IT'S A TRAP!"
