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!!!

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.

Use the LOLA shaded relief map to get topography in the shadow areas. Registered LROC mosaics and LOLA relief can be merged to give quite nice effects.

(Malapert Mountain at upper left, Amundsen at lower right) - so you can use the LROC-WAC low phase angle mosaic with poles treated this way)
