This software, realized by Patrick Chevalley and Christian Legrand, can visualize the Moon's aspect for every date and hour and plot computerized telescopes on the Moon's surface. It permits the user to study lunar formations with unique database of more than 8000 entries and a more than 6000 pictures compiled by Christian Legrand. It's designed to be easily usable in the field according to observation session needs, but also to study at home the Moon and its relief. It's interfaced with 'Sky charts' Patrick Chevalley's freeware. This set is certainly now one of the most complete released. This software has been designed according to needs of Moon observers, but also as a powerful tool for people interested personally or professionally by selenography. The authors have decided to periodically upgrade the software, database and pictures library in the following months and years. It's possible to choose the language used by the software and database. Presently English and French version are available with the basic package. You can download more translations at the product site here. The authors wish that other passionate amateur astronomers will propose their own translation in their language to make this software available to Moon observers worldwide. The authors make this program free for amateur astronomers, lunar observers and students who wish to practice selenography. They hope to promote Moon observation and knowledge because our satellite will become one of the next steps in human spatial exploration.
