David O. Darling of the Association of Lunar & Planetary Observers (ALPO), Lunar Transient Phenomena Section has provided processed images from the Deep Space Program Science Experiment (DSPSE) lunar orbital mission known as Clementine.

There are a large number of these images available on CD-ROM, but to provide an example of the high quality lunar surface details, those images sent to me by the ALPO are given below.<p>
