Apollo 13 landing site

BertieSlack:
Has anybody got a screenshot from an astronomy app or similar showing that the planned Apollo 13 landing site at Fra Mauro was on the dayside of the terminator at the planned landing time? I want to debunk the hoaxnut myth that it would have still been in darkness.

What resolution are you looking for?

Here you go. This is terminator at touchdown.

The tool to use is the Virtual Moon Atlas which can use 60 metre resolution maps from LRO WAC as well as LOLA, LOPAM and Chang'e.

Stellarium is another great tool which will also give you a view on the lunar surface so you can check the Sun's location in the Lunar sky at the time.

Something that will be clear enough in a 720p Youtube video

That is brilliant. Many thanks indeed.
Have you got a YT channel or blog I can give a shout-out to in my video?
