Subject: Virtual Moon New version 3.5


Hello,

Christian Legrand & Patrick Chevalley made this announce:


I'm pleased to announce you with Christian Legrand, the availability
of our new Virtual Moon Atlas Pro version 3.5 :

SOFTWARE NEW FEATURES:

The database manager "DATLUN" :
EXCLUSIVE : Patrick has programmed "DATLUN", a powerful database
manager that allows you to select on several criteria, the formations
that interest specially you.
Featuring a "basic" and an "advanced" mode, explained by an
illustrated user's manual, with it you will be able to visualize on
the map, for example, all the lunar rilles more than 20 km long, or
all the craters with flat floor !

DATABASE UPDATE :
"Historical sites" :
To thank European Space Agency (ESA) for its support to VMA, data
about European probe SMART-1 impact on the Moon have been added in the
"Historical sites" database.

NEW PICTURES LIBRARIES :
The new "Apollo Mapping Cameras" picture library :
The Lunar and Planetary Institute authorized Christian to extract from
the "Apollo Mapping Cameras" pictures put online by the Lunar and
Planetary Institute, individual formations pictures and include them
in the VMA pictures libraries. These pictures are the more detailed
ever obtained from some formations ! With its near 700 pictures, this
new unique library can be accessed through the "Configuration / Image"
menu as the older.

The new "Best of Amateurs" pictures library :
Some of the best world lunar imagers have kindly accepted some of
their pictures to be included in a special library dedicated to VMA.
Compiled by Christian, this new pictures library contains presently
about 400 pictures (provided kindly by Craig Zerbe, Mike Wirths, Wes
Higgins, Zac Pujic and Paolo Lazzarotti) sometimes are as good as
those of some lunar probes !

Adding these two new libraries permit to VMA users to look at more
than 6 000 lunar formations pictures.

As usual, this new version is freely downloadable from our site

http://astrosurf.com/avl/UK_index.html

or is available on a CD that we can burn on demand (See conditions on
site).




Best Greetings From SWITZERLAND

Well, I was going to DL it until I got to the point where it said what I
needed in a the way of a computer, and my machine doesn't have what it takes
so the software is in luna orbit beyound my reach.
