This (new and growing) page contains my annotated Hi Resolution Lunar Images: after clicking the thumbnail the large format image will popup; then move your mouse in and out the image and the annotation will show up or disappear [Thank you Simon Smith for helping me with the popup/mouseover script !!].
Because of the size of the images you might have to use the scrollbars, which is a bit awkward, but for study purposes this does not matter.
I have organised this page in 6 sections: to jump to a certain part of the moon just click in the image.
All images were captured with my LX100 10" f/10 telescope in prime focus, with a Trust WB-5400 Megapixel webcam.
You can also browse these images via this Astroshow: Moon details in Hi Resolution [with after each image an annotated one]
