Selenographic coordinates for Lunar images

I was wondering if it could be feasible, given:
- pixel size
- focal length
- 2 or 3 Lunar features (ex: centre of known craters) as reference points

to be able to draw something similar to the tool "Annotate image" for Lunar images
 
Hi Nicola,

Nice idea. This looks doable, and we could use some important elements that we already have to improve and help an implementation of this feature, such as lunar libration angles, which we can calculate from fundamental ephemerides (such as JPL DE/LE numerical integrations) that we already have available in current versions of PixInsight.

Thank you for this interesting suggestion. I'll think on it, time permitting.
