Virtual Moon Atlas Pro v6.0(Mac OSX)| 4.28 GB
During 2002 first version of VMA was released. For its tenth anniversary, we are happy to bring you the new "Pro" 6.0 version, the most complete computerized lunar atlas. Since december 2009, date of the release of the "Pro 5" version, we were waiting the datas from recent lunar probes US LRO and chinese Chang'?2 to format them and make them usable with VMA.

It's now done and we have also used this long period for adding new modules and features to VMA, but also to actualize and correct its databases. We hope that all that new stuff will make your lunar observations or survays more and more interesting!

And this year it was evident that we have to dedicate this new version to Neil A. Armstrong since his "small step and giant leap" have given a lot of motivation for many of us for practicing amateur astronomy and specially Moon observation.
