After that, you have to get some images for it. Your first step is to make a directory for MoonView on your hard drive, See the list of future additions to the program.) (At some point, these very basic functions will be expanded Since it improves the accuracy of the conversion process. You can also "register" more craters this is a good idea, Pixel in the image, and vice versa), so you can toggle overlays ofĬraters and crater names and get a lat/lon readout as you move theĬursor. (that is, MoonView can figure out what lat/lon corresponds to which With MoonView, you identifyĪt least two craters in the image the image is then "registered" In all of these cases, you start with "plain old images" with noĬartographic (selenographic) information. And it should be possible toĪdd just about any lunar image to the program. Project under way to scan the CLA with a flatbed scanner that Really reflect the high quality of the original photos there is a The original purpose of this program was to allow use of theĬonsolidated Lunar Atlas (CLA) images, as well as (possibly)īoth image archives were made using a digital camera, and don't Is still at an early stage, and a long list of other improvements are

Registered, eliminating the need for the user to do so.) The program Latitude/longitude under the cursor appears on the status bar, and youĬan measure distances on the image. Once registered, otherĬraters will automatically be shown in their correct locations, the Up an image of the moon (CCD or scanned photo) and "register" it byĬlicking on a few craters and naming them. Give you the basic idea: the program allows you to load Purpose of this program: The above screen shot should Use of this program: registering new images.
