Is there a way of getting this link without the gridlines? I have looked at NASA LRO site, the ASU LRO site and the Planetary Photojournal.

Am I missing something?

Is that part of the global WAC mosaic? http://wms.lroc.asu.edu/lroc/global_produc...0_mpp_global_bw

Edit: no, it's not, I found the original image at the LROC site and I realize it's higher-phase than the global mosaic.

What you need to do is to go here:
http://wms.lroc.asu.edu/lroc

Zoom in to the area around Tycho, then click the "Toggle Layers" button to turn on the WAC layers. Then be patient; it takes a while for the site to retrieve the footprints. Then download data to your heart's content. I haven't messed with WAC data before; I think it's a weird different format from NAC data. I'm not sure if IMG2PNG can convert it or not.

As far as I can tell, this gets you to the raw pushframe data, which is going to be a little tricky to work with. It seems only the global WAC mosaic has been archived, not any regionals at different phase angles.

I'd email ASU and ask.

You mean like this?

IMG2PNG correctly converts the WAC data into something recognizable but yes, the format is weird and a bit more complicated to convert than most of the other data IMG2PNG can convert.

People who are interested in using WAC images might like this site:

http://moonscience.yolasite.com/lroc-wac.php

It contains a gallery of processed WACs, many with spectaular low angle lighting. But in the text at the top of the gallery page, look at the link for a software utility to process the raw data.

Phil,
That is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Again!

If anyone is interested, I did not have access to the unannotated image. I just stripped out the grid using Photoshop and a bit of magic.
