What's new in 5.0 
• High resolution lunar eclipse graphics : Experience the finest, most detailed eclipse graphics ever! View any lunar eclipse between 1970 AD and 2100 AD. SHADOW mode lets you observe a lunar eclipse using Local or Universal Time. MOON MODE provides ultra-high resolution views. Umbral shadow accuracy is + or -1 minute, making it suitable for planning crater timing programs.

• Local sky view map: This unique display shows the moon's naked-eye position at your observing site, complete with phase and zenith angle. Also displays the sun, as well as daylight, twilight, or night conditions at a glance.

• Improved map display : We introduced our ultra-high resolution 360° maps in Lunar Map Pro 4.0. Now we've tweaked them for even greater accuracy, while still retaining our industry leading, 1-mile-in-diameter map resolution.

What was too good to change...
Lunar Map Pro™ 5.0 continues to offer numerous great features, including:

•   Multiple Map Options: Lunar Map Pro™ is the only lunar software product that provides a variety of map options for unparalleled flexibility. Select the image map for realism, or the outline map for applications, such as sketching. Interactive geology maps reveal lunar geological history. All maps flip and reverse to match your telescope view and are fully corrected for libration.

•   Extensive feature database: Contains nearly 8,200 features, including the complete USGS database, domes, astronaut named features, and the USA and Soviet manned and unmanned landing sites. You can quickly locate and center any feature, or find lunar sunrise and sunset times for any named feature.

•   Navigator Window: A live miniature map gives you a bird's eye view of your map location, even when the map is zoomed in. 

•   Hover: Identifies features with a mouse touch. Right clicking provides additional historical data aabout the feature. 

•   Point-of-View: Lets you center yourself above any feature, as if you were in lunar orbit, eliminating angular distortion.

•   Zenith angle capability: Tips the map view to match the true angle of the moon as seen from your observing location, adding a new level of realism.  

•   Field-of-View: Customizes the maps to match the view through your own telescope and eyepieces.  

•   Surveyor Tool: Built on an advanced GIS engine, this tool lets you accurately measure surface distances, or the diameters and lengths of lunar features. 

•   Phase Manager: Shows real-time phases for any time and date between 1970 AD and 2100 AD.  

•   Ephemeris: Provides extensive real-time data for your observing location.

•   Resource Viewer: Connects you to dozens of informative lunar websites via the Internet. Also contains Apollo Video Clips, and stores user generated animations. 

•   Export/Link/Print: Save map images as JPEGs or paste them to other documents. Link your astrophotos and observing notes to any feature or feature group. Print customized professional-quality maps.
