Moon map app

[bish]

Hello all,

Could anybody recommend a good moon map app? My main interest is DSOs but I live in a light polluted area and do quite enjoy looking at the moon. I've got a paper map   but  could do with something that shows the terminator  as well as crater names as it is that night . I used to have one but don't remember which one 

Thanks

Try this one. Works for me.

Not an app but NASA has a lunar SVS map, just enter the time and date you want, update then click on the moon image to get a high resolution map with terminator and main feature labels.

Also not an app but, a great resource.

I use the Moon Globe App, simple to use, and informative., AND it's free.

Virtual Moon (link above) has an ephemeris tab that you can set the terminator to specific time and you can turn the terminator off.  Quite handy for planning and identifying features.

I use Moon Chart by Astro Visuals on my iPhone, but it obviously can't show as much detail as VM.

The red dot is Clavius, the terminator is as of about noon US Central Time.  There's a sidebar you can set to show crater info, etc.

If you have an iPhone, Moon Phase Photo maps is good at showing the names of the craters along the terminator. Also available at https://www.derekscope.co.uk/the-moon/

D'oh!  And I just bought a copy of the "Atlas of the Lunar Terminator" for an inflated IMO amount...
