![]() ![]() (2019) Topography and Permanently Shaded Regions (PSRs) of the Moon’s South Pole (85°S to Pole), Lunar and Planetary Institute Regional Planetary Image Facility, LPI Contribution 2172, Feature names are included on the map.Ĭitation: Stopar J. Polar stereographic projection is used with scale true at the pole. Permanently shaded regions (PSRs) larger than 10 km 2 digitized by Arizona State University and determined by Mazarico et al. The elevation data are overlain on a derived hillshade with solar azimuth 45°W and solar elevation 45°. The map is centered on the south pole and shows the LOLA 20-m elevation product between 85°S and the pole (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Smith et al., 2010 Smith et al., 2017). This map is based on data released by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA). Topography and Permanently Shaded Regions (PSRs) of the Moon’s South Pole (85°S to Pole) (2019) Topography and Permanently Shaded Regions (PSRs) of the Moon’s South Pole (80°S to Pole), Lunar and Planetary Institute Regional Planetary Image Facility, LPI Contribution 2170, (2011) are shown as red outlines with black fill. ![]() The map is centered on the south pole and shows the LOLA 20-m elevation product between 80°S and the pole (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Smith et al., 2010 Smith et al., 2017). Be sure to download the entire 500MB enchilada (Expert version) to get all the detailed images.Topography and Permanently Shaded Regions (PSRs) of the Moon’s South Pole (80°S to Pole) I would start with VMA, though, since it is free and a ridiculously fantastic piece of freeware. There may be something better or cheaper out there. It's not a cheap app, at $90 list, but in terms of smallest features with size data it *may* be the solution. According to their site their latest and greatest has almost double the resolution of mine. I am using an old version (V3) that has features listed, with diameters, down to about 3-5km. I use VMA and RITI's LMP (Lunar Map Pro). The downside is that those images do not link to object sizes. Many of those images were shot with various space probes and have resolution far beyond anything you can see. However, you can right click on features and get a list of additional images to select. I'm not sure of the exact minimum crater and feature size, but I suspect it may be larger than what you are looking for. You know how fickle and fleeting light angles can be, but where in heavens do you guys go when you want info that goes well well well beyond Ruk'ls? Dont get me wrong - loads of Rukl's features rendered dont show in my 8". With lunar observations i've always had that anonymous zone of "who knows" when it came to some of the most compelling threshold visibility. Make it or not, you know where you stood. ![]() In doublestar work as well as planetary you always "know the bar". Where does everyone go to get the definitive info on all those craterelets and rills beyond Rukl's "resolution"? Its more suited probably for something like a 4" refractor. My Atlas is Rukl's and while its a splendid work, Time and again with the 8" I'd see craterlets like small specks of pepper winking in and out with the seeing and utterly no known way to measure or document what i was seeing. The thread about smallest craterlet seen on the moon brought up a shortcoming Ive always had when approaching ![]()
