Ray:

If you go to the USGS "Map-a-planet" home page, you can click on

various planets and get access to all the released data available for

those planets:

http://www.mapaplanet.org/

If you click on the moon, and type "Schiller" in the search window, it

will list the various data sets that have been compiled into map

mosaics.  Under "advanced", you should change "simple cylindrical" to

"sinusoidal" to get an overhead, more or less equidimensional version

of the display.

Is there a NASA orbital shot of Schiller any one can point to that is  

an "overhead shot" ?

One of my favorite oblique impact craters - well, really two of  

them -

is this pair, posted at "Files/Other/Oblique_Impacts_Mars.jpg"

Of course, it'd be a tad difficult to image from here!

What's interesting is that both craters are double, both have

fluidized ejecta blankets to either side - making them look like

"bugs". And they are along a line, suggesting that they from from the

same parent body that broke apart as it approached Mars at a very

shallow angle.
