Thank you Mark,

i didn't know about  the mac porting.

Unfortunately i installed  it on my MacBook Pro (apparently successful) with OSX 10.5.8 but it refuse to start. 

The icon bounces for some seconds then close.


I launched it logged as root but it's the same.... :-(((

Oggetto: [Astro_IIDC] Virtual Moon Atlas


Was everybody aware the latest version of this excellent program is
now available for Mac?
http://www.ap- i.net/avl/ en/download
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...!

Mark.
