Kevin, I haven't tried this yet, but it may help. When I asked about a moon map a while back, someone suggested going into the PHOTO forum. There are supposedly a number of different night and day shots of the moon to be had. Then make your own maps from the photos. If you DO get any answers, let me know, I have a few day shots in WCT, but no good night shots. Terry

Kevin, There are a few programs made by VRLI that lets you see the surface detail of the moon, mars and a few other planets. You can take snapshots of these, save em as gifs, and use them as bump/texture maps. That's how I make all of my planet mapping. – Neil

>>Howdy! Does anyone out there have or know of where I can locate a decent moon map? Thanks…Kev<< You know what I find works really well? Sitting on a Xerox machine! You get great detail, but it's only greyscale. (And in my case, I have to use tabloid sized paper.) <BG> Sean Platter

National Geographic did a poster-size moon map, I think in the mid-70s. You might contact them to see if it's still available.

Hey Kevin, Are you on the internet? If so Try some of the NASA sites. I found many images of space, planets, etc. @ these various sites. You can do a net search from within Netscape to get a list of possible sites. Good luck….<jir>
