Scientific paper

Images of the lunar surface were obtained at several wavelengths using a silicon vidicon imaging system and ground-based telescopes. These images were recorded and processed in digital form so that quantitative information was preserved. The photometric precision of the images is shown to be better than 1%. Ratio images calculated by dividing images obtained at two wavelengths (0.40/0.56 and 0.95/0.56 microns) are presented for about 50% of the lunar frontside. Spatial resolution is about 2 km at the subearth point. A complex of distinct units is evident in the images. Earlier work with the reflectance spectrum of lunar materials indicates that, for the most part, these units are compositionally distinct.
