I'm new here, and all I can say to you that it's amazing. I'm sure I'll like Celestia.

I downloaded them, I opened one .zip file and there's just a heavy (GigaByte) .v file in it.
I googled for "How to open .v files", but I can't find a helpful way :sad:

I tried, but it always spams errors in the output (I'm trying to run the PY version):
error.png
Cmd.exe: pip install pyvips


I also can't find a converter that can handle huge GigaByte files (for free) :sad:

But I found a better map (that doesn't have the ugly .v format): https://astrogeology.usgs.gov/search/map/Moon/LRO ... AC_Mosaic_global_100m_June2013

Copy the file filename.v on the bin folder.

Open prompt and goto to bin folder.
