Hi Fran,

I agree based on the lunaserv site (ahttp://webmap.lroc.asu.edu) that the images at that location have sun angles no lower than about 47 degrees (image pair M159847595LC    M159847595RC)  I do not select targets but the LROC team has a mechanism for requesting images which you can do here http://target.lroc.asu.edu/output/lroc/lroc_page.html. 
LROC NAC imaging is somewhat opportunistic so when the conditions are right the image is taken, providing that some other target does not take precedence.

Thanks for your interest!
John

Hi John,
Any chance of getting images of
5.1N 15.5E
with more shadows?

The mapping images are almost completely shadowless for obvious reasons. Surely there were images when this view was more interesting.
