Re: Printable, mirror-reversed moon map?

I made a little script to generate moon maps out of orthographic projections plus a feature list. It needs PerlMagick, and I am not ready to release. I ran it on a projection of one of the USGS color-coded altitude maps, and generated a couple of pretty simple maps. They get crowded in places, but might be somewhat usable:

This includes 1500x1500 and 1800x1800 versions, in both upright, Newtonian and star-diagonal orientations. (Some may not be up yet--if not, try in 5 minutes.)

I was using an early version loaded on a pda today while observing.
