Go figure... and people wonder what we are on about and call us nuts. Originally posted by ArMaP

The resolution settings were those I requestes at the USGS mapper. It does not always give you the resolution asked for
See page 4 for the resolution of the High Resolution camera that "mapped the entire surface of the Moon at resolutions never before attained."
Not sure where you get the one band from
"Clementine completely mapped the lunar surface in 14 discrete spectral bands ranging
from the near ultraviolet (0.415 µm), through the visible spectrum, to the far infrared (9.5 µm)."

High-Resolution Camera This 1.1-kg camera operates at visible wavelengths (0.415 to 0.75 µm)
with silicon CCD technology combined with a compact, lightweight image intensifier. A six-position, spectral filter wheel provided imagery in discrete spectral bands.
As an example of the cameras capability, Figure 13 shows an image of Earth taken by the high-resolution camera from lunar orbit at 1250 km above the surface of the Moon and at a distance of 384,000 km from Earth. During the lunar-mapping portion of Clementine, the camera produced high resolution images for mineral typing of the lunar surface.
Visible wavelengths
BTW that small Earth above was the master image used to create THIS

Took you 2 1/2 years to say that. Progress
