In order to better understand the illumination of the south pole at the time of the proposed LCROSS impact, I prepared synthetic image showing probable shadow illuminations for 10-9-2009 11:30UT as seen from an o.p. at W111 N41: Labeled http://members.csolutions.net/fisherka/astronote/observed/LCROSS/20091009_11... Unlabeled http://members.csolutions.net/fisherka/astronote/observed/LCROSS/20091009_11... These simulated images were prepared by taking a screen shot from a February 2008 NASA-Goldstone radar-based shadow animation at: http://www.nasa.gov/mov/214260main_Lunar_Illumination_Movie_4_Web.mov See http://lpod.wikispaces.com/February+28,+2008 for more information background on the Goldstone animated shadow movie. This simulated image supplements and confirms the compilation of real images of similar librations gathered by Jim Mosher at his LCROSS impact wiki page at: http://ltvt.wikispaces.com/LCROSS+Impact In particular, the simulated image is similar in appearance to Mario Weigand's image of 2008 Oct 20 03:30.   Mario's image can be found on Jim's page listed above or by: Direct url to Mario Weigand image http://ltvt.wikispaces.com/file/detail/LCROSS_2009Oct9_1130UT.JPG Compare the lighting for Schomberger A, C and K and Malapert C and Malapert E in the Mario's real image and the simulation for 10-9-2009.
