Hello Bobbie

If the images fall within my criteria, then yes.

If otherwise then no.

Please remember I have already gone to g00gle images and can thus find
many smart-1 images.

If you tiink i should raise the value of my question , then lets duscuss.

PS

I am off to the toronto Air Show so it may be take a little time for
me to see your answer/ clarification.

Mongolia

Hello again Mongolia,

Below you will find the best images I was able to locate that meet
your requirements; however one of the far side images is a "bit" over
6 months old.

This image of the lunar surface was taken on 2 September 2006 by the
AMIE camera on board SMART-1 during the last few orbits prior to Moon
impact, and shows a heavily cratered region of the Moon.

This oblique view of the lunar surface was taken on 2 September 2006
by the AMIE camera on board SMART-1 during the last few orbits prior
to Moon impact, and shows small craters over the lunar surface.

Far side
---------
I located 2 far side images taken from the SMART-1.  One is  from May 
16, 2006 and the other was taken on 1 January 2006.

This image, taken by the Advanced Moon Imaging Experiment (AMIE) on
board ESA?s SMART-1 spacecraft, provides an ?oblique? view of the
lunar surface towards the limb, around the Mezentsev, Niepce and
Merrill craters, on the far side of the Moon.
AMIE obtained this sequence on 16 May 2006. The imaged area is centred
at a latitude of 73º North and a longitude of 124º West.
