Was everybody aware the latest version of this excellent program is now available for Mac?

I`ve been using the older version of it on my PC for quite a while..!

The best results are to be had if you go to Configuration in the Menu Bar once the initial download is complete, select Texture & check for optional features & then download them. Once that`s done select Clementine Photographic zoom levels 1-3 & 3-8, turn the zoom dial in the menu bar right up & say type your favourite crater or feature into the search box on the right & Find. This time of the month go to display & untick Show the phase & show the libration & voila you have an excellent High definition map of the moon...!
