I've put together a demonstration version of my LunarPhase Pro
software. The software is a Moon observer's toolkit providing the usual
phase predictions, librations (animated as well as monthly max. and min
and diagrams), first crescent visibility, interactive atlas, 9,200
feature database (searchable), times/dates when features are under
similar illumination emulation of views through eyepiece/telescope
combinations, etc. The file is an 8.5Mb download.
Some notes on the demonstration version:
* Some screens have been partially disabled but some settings on those
screens can be changed so users can get an idea of how the screens
work.
* Some functions have been disabled (e.g. printing)
* The date in the demo is fixed at April 20, 2005 and cannot be
changed.
* Screens that display ephemeris type information will only show data
between January and June 2005
* The resolution of the maps on the atlas (Lunar Explorer) screen are
low-res only and cannot be changed
* Only a representative sample of features from the database are
included, but these will let users try out the feature labelling and
feature identification functions
* A selection of eyepiece and telescope combinations are provided to
try out the emulation of the view of the Moon through those
combinations (new combinations cannot be addded)
* Aside from that, users can play around with the software to see what
it's capable of.
* The full manual is included in the download
The Demo version can be download from:

It should run on on Linux and Macs running a Windows emulator
