But Ziggy,
everyone uses the same Clementine moon data there are NO others. Neither for Google nor for Celestia!
Here is an old thread by Praesepe on the highest resolution Moon data available (16k), that I also use since long for my own moon texture:

See also my recent Moon thread, notably the bumpmapped images towards the end:

I think these images are far better than what you can see in Google...

I don't know... Google *must* have some sort of source we don't know about considering the high resolution images that it presents at the highest magnification! What a discovery! Now I want to go to the Moon more than ever!
But only if I can bring crackers....

What moon normal or bump map do you use with your 16k VT textures?
Frank
I don't use a 16k (VT) moon texture anymore, since that is not any good.
My actual moon texture is 8k (not requiring any VT's with my card) and the level map is a larger version (4K) of the the one I derived from true Clementine/USGS topography data. I submitted 2k and 1k versions of it to CVS recently.
