Excellent images.

So does anyone else have a problem with seeing lunar images
properly when they are lit from below?

When I look at the ones where the light comes from below, such as
the "Pitatus and Hesiodus A," I see the depth inverted. Craters
look like mesas, cracks look like ridges, small craters look like
bumps.

Sometimes if I stare at it long enough and tell myself "it's lit
from below. That's a crater. It goes down. Not up." it will
suddenly pop into the right perspective. Sometimes I am not able
to see it right without rotating the image 180 so the lighting
comes from above.
