Not sure if this (https://quickmap.lroc.asu.edu/) has been posted already.

Thanks for that link Marc.

Yea , thanks for the link Mark. With the resolution of the zoomable map I may as well give up lunar imaging, not going to get anywhere near as good a resolution as that with my gear, ever.
Seriously though, another great resource, awesome.

OMFG! That is so exciting! The resolution on that is crazy! It must be down to what? 5m? You can even see the Apollo11 Lunar module!

I mean, just look at this;

The second panel (1) is the best I can do with my scope currently. It's Mare Crisium and the crater below the number 1 is one of my favorites (Picard - it's all in the name :-). I picked the smallest detail I could find - which is only visible because of favourable lighting and contrast - and decided to zoom in as far I could.

That structure that could only just be made out was 1km in width. Pretty good, I thought, until I kept zooming
...and zooming
...and zooming.

Eventually that 1km structure filled the screen and I could see the rocks on the slope.

WOW. I'm a little excited.

Thank you Marc!

According to key at the bottom left of screen, it gets down to 0.5 m/px (that's 500 mm!) at maximum zoom.

Thanks for sharing, Marc - an awesome resource!

Apollo 12 plus a walk over to Surveyor 3...

Very interesting interactive website - thanks for sharing.
Changing settings & seeing the Farside firstly zoomed-out is intriguing, purely because it is unrecognisable as our familiar moon. Exploring this Farside is also fascinating - such detail, especially various 'canals'.

Thanks Marc, stunning imagery to say the least.:thumbsup::)

Nah, that was added later by an insider for NASA ;)
