In 1968, Apollo 8 took the famous Earth Rise image; now the Japanese have
taken a much sharper image

The Apollo 8 image is still better. Kayuga's Earth looks like a
Photoshop job.

Jesus Brian; don't say things like that! You know how CT is! ;-)

Where the heck did all the lunar worth of mineral reflected hue or
color saturation go?

Why has their CCD dynamic range(DR) gotten so limited, as though
restricted to only a few db or of such limited contrast bits.

In the original JAXA color images, shortly before arriving at their
final orbital mission placement, the moon had been looking as though
quite a bluish/purple item, without any PhotoShop modifications.

Are each of the JAXA/Selene HDTV telephoto and wide angle cameras
selectively broken, so that moon related pixels are no longer capable
of detecting a given mineral hue?
