Hi Chuck,

Thanks for mentioning this... I've given it a download, and may steal
(errrmmm, borrow) an idea or two. The descriptive text of lunar features
is very nice.

"Lunatics" may also be interested in the (freely-available) images from
the Consolidated Lunar Atlas:

http://www.lpi.usra.edu/research/cla/menu.html

They aren't perfect (created with a digital camera; a flatbed-scanned
version would be just about perfect), but they are (as far as I know) the
best thing currently available.

If somebody with a CCD camera is looking for a project... a nice one,
in my humble opinion, would be a "CCD Atlas of the Lunar Terminator."
Fit this onto a (650-MByte) CD-ROM, and you could have about 22
MBytes of images for each day of one lunation. Thus, you could
not only get an image of a given part of the moon; you could get it
with something close to the illumination angle you wanted.

I know some folks on this list have automated/robotic scopes...
perhaps you'd consider having the scope, while it's slewing about
collecting asteroids, take an image or two of the moon each night?
